I think it's fair to say your a very very very lucky man to have the car back in decent condition. Great spotting by the SAU member. Normally people that claim they saw a stolen car are fos. Well done buddy!

Good news :down: A lot better than 2 recently that have ended up being trashed & burnt in the middle of nowhere....

Yeah very strange to drive all that way just to take a stereo & smash some windows, hopefully they didn't do anything else.

Kelvin if I was in your situation I would get it towed back & then everything checked out, all the fluids replaced, anything like that. They could have put something dodgy in somewhere, fuel tank, radiator, anything. I wouldn't risk driving it, especially if they didn't fill it up with 98 to get there....

I hope where it was stolen from was where you are moving out of...not into for if the car is coming back there.

Good luck with getting it all back & repaired :D

Wasn't another fairly high profile car stolen and found in Albany recently? wtf is going on down there..

Simple. F#ckwit lives in Albany - maybe even recently moved there. Has f#ckwit friends in Perth. Comes up to Perth to see f#ckwit friends. At end of weekend, steals car to go home. Steals radio to pay for next trip (paying one way, of course).

A F#ckwit Weekend!

Kelvin I got a couple days off ill be glad to help out getting the car or anything, even tho id agree in getting it over by truck then sussing the whole lot out at a workshop. Hope you can get it back better than ever.

Its a gtr tho, the beast will probably heal itself! haha

      Unpeeling the Orange

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
