Beast #1 has turned 400,000!

Post by JPC »

Don't know if this is something to be proud of :D , or ashamed of :oops:

My first JA (bought in 1988, from the original first owner) has been my daily driver from then until very recently, when the load has been shared with beast #2 (and soon beast #3).

It's now clocked up just over 400,000 km and still in kinda mint-ish condition, inside and out. Engine rebuilt just once at 212,000 km and still going strong (fingers crossed :wink: ). Everything works, even the original factory radio/stereo, which it still has :oops:

Some pics (taken a few months ago):

Yes, that's another Staz (silver) behind it :)

I recently had the diff overhauled (seeing as it's never been done before), and the guy who did it said it had hardly any wear - I guess that says something either about my driving style, or the strength of the Staz drivetrain :wink:

Anybody's Staz done more kms than this?

I think Flav's 'yum goldie' is the same colour (Valencia Gold, I think).

My JD is Valencia Gold too - it's funny how different the colour looks from different cameras.
