Pathythesauce

G'day from Australia, I have just bought my second R50 Pathy as a project car. I grew up 4WDing in North Queensland in my first Pathy and now I've got time in my life to relive old glories so I bought a 2001 R50 Ti (Sunroof still works). It's got 225K miles on the clock and all of them have been done by a little old couple who bought it new when he retired from the railways. Best $2800 I ever spent! In a few months I will be taking her on the Old Telegraph Track on Australia's Cape York Peninsula. It's a pretty serious track with lots of river crossings and some intermediate level obstacles. I'll be pouring over the forums for hints and ideas as well as trouble to look out for. So far I've replaced all filters hoses and the radiator and i'll start on the transmission and running gear closer to the date. Cosmetically she's had a 2" lift, some nice new 31" shoes and a bullbar (mostly so the 31's don't rub on the front guards!). She'll get a roof rack to chuck the spare on so I can mount a fridge in the rear with a dual battery system. Thanks for having me and I look forward to learning a lot. PTS
