In a lunatic move Ive just bought a rusty old Surf. Ive never driven anything bigger than a Polo. Its a 1993 SSR 3.0, one owner since import. It has sellotape bumpers and 119k miles.
'LOL' doesn't even begin to cover it!!
But its a dream come true - for over 10 years I've vaguely wanted a hilux since I saw one on a farm [yes, it was so romantic], but was too skint to even entertain the cost of it because alcohol.
I gave up drinking last November, and have been relentlessly saving money since January, and now I have finally got what I wanted! So even if I do actually sound like a total numpty, please don't shit on my dream!
So. I need to know where in the uk to get bumpers as the rust was an advisory on the MOT and I need to start budgeting for repairs.
-PS I know nothing! I can dry out a wet distributor cap, fix a holey exhaust with beer cans and change a wheel, but that's about it. The only ace I have is my local one-man-band mechanic who just happens to be a 4x4 'enthusiast'.
