Dare away, here is my old Kia 4x4 https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=7882#p7882 recently purchased for $1800 
That looks like a great home on wheels ivanll. Are they good on fuel. Not that that probably bothers you, you always seem to pick up enough goodies to pay for that. Cheers Rick

Ya cant go wrong Marty! If ya spent $15000 Grand You'd still be infront.
My series 3 prospecting rig at the 7 mile diggings. The motor is a 186, the gearbox has high speed gears put in it, it'll cruise at 100k's an hour if your brave.

The old landies aren't renowned for there top end speed at the best of times. A 186 powered landie going down hill with a tail wind and red lining, you would scratching to get a 100 klicks an hour, I'd say with the gearbox conversion I put in it I'd get 120 kph easy at about 3/4 throttle. Once the steering is rebuilt it'd handle a hell of a lot better. Mick

Hey Mick I dont remember those railings, or is that on the top side of the diggings, I remember very large bouldlers and a bit of waterfall towards the main creek.
I know where an old fourby is, a Land rover that is fully intact, could be good as a restoration. I was thinking of towing it out and doing just that.
Not too mention it is in the middle of a gold field and a few shafts are dotted around it. The owners of the property dont want it as it was left there from previous tenants.
The rover has an alloy chassis I think, I could be wrong.
Cheers

The landrover had a steel chassis and firewall, the military version had a galvanized chassis.
Brad, this photo was taken before the big flood, where I'm parked is where we camped, all those trees and scrub in the background plus the tree and fence were flattened.

G'day Mick, Is that the 7 mile diggings at Nanango? My family have lived in Yarraman for a long time. My sister and bro in law own a block between Yarraman and Cooyar that has a gold bearing creek on it. I'm not sure if anyone has prospected out there for a long time. I am going to have a pan around out there next time I'm down. Cheers, Rickaxeman said:The landrover had a steel chassis and firewall, the military version had a galvanized chassis.
