I requested images from the current seller:

What sort of weight do you think one could strip her down to?

I wouldn't pay R50k for that though. The cost of repairing it will far exceed that.

Re: 4.8 for sale... fixer upper.
Although it doesnt look like allot of damage, that is going to cost PLENTY to fix. If I would guess I would say R80,000 is not going to cover it. The roof is not repairable and a replacement roof from Nissan is going to be Madness.
I saw this Patrol on SMD when it came on auction, but its not worth fixing......it will never be the same again
Pypkar is its only future in my opinion

Or a game-viewer. That might be a project you could make money on...Michael wrote:Although it doesnt look like allot of damage, that is going to cost PLENTY to fix.

Re: 4.8 for sale... fixer upper.
Spoken to Tinus about that yesterday, I have built a few over the years you can buy a nice one for about R70-80K these days, I think if you could get that Patrol for about 40K you could make about 10K building it into a game viewer.
This is my one on the farm bought it for 50k and by the time I had finished it had cost me about 80k total (Yes I know its a Land Rover!!
