I may have an Illness. Since I could remember round about being 5, I fell in love with the old Round Head light, round arch Hilux +- 79-83 models. I have always wanted one badly. Had a chance to buy a good one, but let it slip through my fingers 2 years ago, now its gone.
I have an option for one again, but the prices the guys are asking is getting out of hand. I will not rest until I have one someday.
To me the body is the most important thing, as they are 30+ years old, and finding parts are very difficult.
There is one, the guy wanted R47K with the Chinese 4Y inside, 1980 model. Its probably the best one I have seen in a long time, inside and out mostly good and original. he has since sold the engine and is asking R35 as is, stil has all other components.
What should I do? What do you guys think about the price though, it seems high, but I have looked at about 25+ and cannot find a good one at a good price. Either the price is to high, or the Lux is un-saveable.
Below is a pick of it, before the engine came out.
All comments would be much appreciated. Of course the wife is against all Hilux purchases.
Or should I just let the idea go?
And again i say WHAT, HOW MUCH, HOEVEEL is da price for LOVE. 
If you buy it with a calculator in your mind and hope you will recover money spend on things one day in the future, then forget it. IF you buy for love of HILUX's and it becomes sort of your hobby and care for it as part of the family, BUY
