Engineering student working to a tight budget. New to 4x4s but I love a good project!
Here's me Sporty, picked him up bog standard for £600.
Thinking about doing a Build/Modification thread if anyone be interested.

Hiya Rich, I know yate well. I live in a village not far away and i think i know the sportrak your referring to.
Here's a few more pictures from outings with Sporty, though he's soon to move on to new pastures as I've gone and bought myself a 110.

No, the 110 is staying for good now, I'll post a picture or two when she's back in one piece, all be it a rusty piece
In the mean time if you know anyone interested in a sportrak; £890 with 12months MOT

I was literally just about to ask what you are going to do with it...
Has it had any mods? What mileage is it on?
Any interest in breaking? I'll get in touch with my friend who's got the other one and ask him if he's interested.

lol okay - I've bunged him a text anyway.
I thought that pic was it just getting a bath?
Have you still got the original hubs? Were they autos? I think he might be interested in them.
