I ended up building this car from scratch but just as I finished and was about to start taking it 4WDing I found a Sierra Maruti Ute that I’ve been looking for so long and brought that.
My dad drove the car for about 2-3months as a daily and since then it’s been sitting in the garage
It’s been out in the bush 3 times only and all the components are BRAND NEW!!!
I purchased the vehicle in February 2011 and since then have done a lot of work to get it to where I want.
It took me nearly 2yrs to find a good example sierra without rust.

here in WA without any mods is worth about $5,500 if you can find one without any rust and in decent condition and to build this car to it’s current specs would cost you well over $10K
As you can see from the list, the parts add up very quickly to well over $10,500 and that’s not including labour or the vehicle itself!!
People on AZ that have seen this car and know me can vouch for the cleaness and workmanship on the vehicle.
My previous vehicle was brought by
tonnett on the forum
viewtopic.php?f=7&t=24759&hilit=masterAAlso,
d1Mitch brought my other tintop awhile back
I'm sure both of these gents can vouch for the vehicles I sold them
I’ve listed it on AZ first to try and keep it within the community and see if anyone is interested before I list it on GumTree.
As much as i love this vehicle and as much as I want to keep it, it’s just not economical or practical as I have 3 other cars and a motorbike. Unfortunately something has to go so my loss is your gain
In looking to get $xxxxxx ONO for the car
I know it sounds alot of money for a sierra but if you do the maths and if you were to build it yourself it would cost you alot more and it would take you at least a few months
In saying that, im not desperate to sell it so please no stupid offers
If you want to have a chat about the car, you can contact me on xxxx xxx xxx or send me a PM with any questions
NOTE:
Car now has an ARB bullbar fitted (not in pic)
I will take some interior shots next week and post them up
hahaha
