Thanks everyone for your welcome! @phdv61 Well it sounds like it was a good experience, did you went with the Patrol?

Yeah, parts of the chassis were starting to show signs of heavy rust, its a big problem with 4x4 vehicles in Croatia, salt on the road in the winter and Patrols are generally prone to rust I decided to sandblast it to remove all of the rust while its not to late and to protect it so I can enjoy it for a long time. There are so little serious offroaders remained and import is too expensive. Body is generally in solid condition, while its removed the shop will check for rust in sheet metal, if its heavy they will cut it out and weld new metal @phdv61 I read about dual setup dawes & needle at australian forums, yours seems a little different by description? Where and how did you did it with electronics and software? I was considering sendind the ECU to Australia for a remapping of the ECU, the guys there say it makes the 3.0 a totally different beast for driving, I couldn't find anything online about doing it in europe. My setup was done in Slovenia, ne one does it in Croatia
