    Default Mitsubishi L300 4WD

    Hi guys,
    bought me some work today:







    Specs:
    MY1989
    302.000km
    2.4l gasoline engine 111hp
    5 speed
    automatic locking hubs

    Plans are:
    -Remove all the rust (it`s not as bad as it looks)
    -Skid plates
    -Front bumper with winch, 2 8" HID lights and 4 6" HID lights
    -Rear swingout with the spare tire, hilift, shovel and jerry can mount
    -mild lift
    -camper conversion

    First thing is to get it ready for the TÜV, the german safety inspection. And i can tell you, those guys are really hardcore...

    I`m going to pick it up on tuesday, can`t wait...

    Thanks guys...

    TÜV shouldn`t be a big problem. Suspension wise it`s fine. There`s a little play in the passenger side front wheel bearing that`s all. I can just readjust this...

    The rust looks bad, but it`s only the big spot on the driver side where the duct tape is. Also in the inner wheel wells, but that`s all. The rest is solid...

    I`ll also remove all the rust from the suspension, underbody and stuff. Then i`ll give it a shot undercoating and it should look brand new...
