Well, 4-5 weeks scouring every free ad, car sale site and auction available and I've finally found what (I think...) I was after - an old 4x4 with all the important bits seemingly working, and rather a "loved" appearance, thus leading to a 500 note price tag

Have been searching for something to use for humping dive gear and driving boats in and out of the sea and the Fronty seems to fit the bill.
Signed up to the group a while ago and have used a lot of what you guys have posted to learn the ins/outs of the Fronty and what to look for, so just wanted to say a big thanks, and I'm looking forward to hopefully being able to give a little back as mine slowly falls to bits and I figure out the easy/cheap fixes for it.
Many thanks for the info so far - great forum,
Lee
