Hey guys, This is copied from ebay so I didn't have to retype it so ignore the bidding comments and see pics on the ebay site here
ebay listing...

Up for sale is my 1986 Holden Drover, it has been a great little car but after being involved in a minor traffic incident in August last year, I don't have the time to devote it. Holden Drovers are basically identical to the Suzuki Sierra NT Model however have the rectangular headlights and different grille. This would be a great car to do up or learn to drive in, it has been on many camping trips and adventures.

__________________________________________________________________________

THE BAD

The front driver's side was hit at slow speed by another car and as a result:
-The driver's side shackle is bent
-The driver's door and the body below has a small dent in it
-The bonnet latch is not closing
-The bullbar and bumper bar are bent

The car runs and starts easily and can be driven fine. The shackle needs to be replaced and the bumper bar needs the have the bit of the end that is bent cut off if you are going to drive it around too many sharp corners as it rubs on the wheel when turning HOWEVER the car comes with 4x standard shackles and set of rubber bushes so nothing to buy to replace it!

The bonnet latch is currently held on with wire so I could shut it when I drove it back home.The bonnet has flipped up while driving and there are two dents where the stoppers hit.

The window winders need attention if you care.

The windscreen wipers didn't turn on when I tried them the other day might be a loose connection somewhere.

The doors are from another car and are rusty and badly painted I do not have a key for these.

There is a rust spot on the drivers side of the windscreen that has been treated with fish oil and rust kill/rust proofing stuff that was there before I bought the car. There are two small (less than 5mm) rust spots in the passenger floor.

The Rego ran out in November and it is currently unregistered.

_______________________________________________________________

THE GOOD

The Drover has a newer secondhand engine (g13BA) put in just over 7 months ago about one month before the accident. It runs well and when it was replaced it had all the seals and gaskets replaced and was cleaned. 233294kms shown on odometer is original reading, the new engine would have done roughly 4000km as I was driving to Ipswich most work days.

The radiator was also replaced with a brand new alluminium core one at the same time.
The radiator hoses were also replaced.

The starter motor was replaced just over a year ago with a brand new one.
The belts have all been replaced within the past year.

The stereo was replaced and two 6x9 Pioneer speakers fitted these can be mounted in the rear door card or in the storage compartment fitted to the rear of the car, it held all my toolboxes perfectly.

The drover comes with the rear bench seat and is mod plated to a 4 seater.

It also comes with a cut down bikini top.

It is fitted with a tow ball and trailer plug.

Comes with 2x 100w Spotlights (not connected)

It has a K&N air filter.

Is fitted with an engine immobiliser just need to connect the wire.

Soft top in pretty good nick no rips or tears.

Fitted with diff breathers.

Comes with original under glovebox shelf.

AND There are a few spares which are in the back.
______________________________________________________________________________

I have tried to be honest about the condition of this car as it was a great little reliable car and if I had the time I would love to restore her to her former glory. It is a tough little old car its a lil rough but its 24 years old and it is such a fun car and was a great first car to learn to drive and 4wd in.

There is so much good stuff about this car it wouldn't take too much to get it living the high life again.

The car is being sold unregistered with no RWC and as is. Inspections are welcomed, send me a message on here to organize a time.
Local pickup only, unless you organize freight and pickup.
Car is garaged at Highgate Hill in Brisbane.
Car is advertised elsewhere so I reserve the right to remove from sale.
Bid to buy not to look.

PRICE: $1400ono
or bid on
