I'll still think of it as one of the greatest gen 3s ever..but alas..times change
I got a new pajero to setup for offroading and camping, and told myself one day id buy a gen1 to build up and track as a fun weekend car
Now I must say if Grant put 5k on his car I would own it right now..but he wants more for it..and its one tidy example but the second my liberty left ive been searching for a good price rs liberty to muck around with, it only made me want one more when Mark bought his cheap rs
But one I had eyeing off was a charcoal RS, which I later found out was Scotts (bigboyscottyb) old liberty...it had all the right mods and at a decent price!!
Upon inspection I was a bit daunted at the messiness of some things..but I remembered im used to how neat the gen 3 was..and reminded myself its a 23yo RS ffs lol
So I made an offer and am picking it up on monday

And i will be grabbing an xforce dump and race cat and molesting my tcp 3inch to 2.5 inch stainless system to make up a new exhaust for it as the one on it is all mismatched and sits really low....might chuck a new muffler at it aswell
But as soon as I get it, its gonna get a massive clean and polish/wax..and get the rear spoiler back on
