Hello!

I am new here,
I recently bought a L200 K75T 2001, 2.4 petrol 16v, 4G64, 4wd. I feel i have been doublecrossed with my purchase but i wont let myself give up yet. I want to make it my working car for i work in nature and landscape management, i have hopes
1. There is holes in the floor on both front side where the feet are that need welding, the wheelhousing.
2. The front radiator panel is rusted through so needs to be cut off, this i want to replace with a panel for the older square lights and grill. Does that fit with some minor adjustments?
3. The suspension needs changing, new bushings n balljoints n such.
4. The back loading platform im going to take off to remove rust, and the platform also needs welding in the wheelhousing.

For the future i want to renovate the engine because it is using a lot of oil, no black smoke though and some leaking on the back of the engine, maybe the piston rings are busted?

Any other suggestions from you all?
Is there a L200 area on this forum where i can post future questions?


Best wishes!
