I drove the Canter home today.
I am pretty sure it will be listed as a repairable write off, but will get conformation of that from my insurer tomorrow.
Story is that I got bogged while launching my boat, front winch failed and the truck got wet up to the bottom of the cab.
Diffs and gearbox are ok, had breathers on them.
The chassis electrics will be shot and need to be replaced. At this point everything still works, all the lights, speedo, tacho, exhaust brake. gave everything a function test on the way home.
Engine will need rings I believe. Lots of blow by.
There is damage to the back of the cab.

Before I start stripping it down to sell off the bolt on accessories, is anybody interested in buying it complete?
A project for someone with plenty of time and enthusiasm.

List of accessories on the vehicle.

ATW single rear wheel conversion,
ATW coil suspension with adjustable air shock absorbers, Control paddles in overhead consule.
ATW winch Bar Alloy,
Narva Spot lights,
2x Runva 15000lb hydraulic winches,
2x Stratos bucket seats,
Altron cruise control and keyless entry,
OEX immobiliser,
Custom overhead console,
custom centre console,
Belt driven 15cfm air compressor & air tank,
windscreen sun visor,
windscreen stone guard,
Full insulation and soundproofed cab,
GME UHF radio
Alternator upgrade to 220amp,
VMS 7500 Media/gps & Fusion speakers,
Front diff lock ATW.
7x 12volt accessory outlet,
150 litre stainless underbody water tank.
100mm stainless snorkel.

Probably some more minor bits I've forgotten.

As is, where is for $15k. Tray & storage box will be removed.

Storage box & tray are both spring mounted. If interested, I would sell it with them left on for $28k.

Open for discussion.

Hi Mab
Firstly sorry to hear of your loss, that is terrible. You mention the Runva winch failed, I had read these winches where quite good, would you mind describing further the failure?
Regards
Steve

Hi Steve,

Re the winch, not sure why it failed, could have been electrical. the rear winch still worked but the front didn't function. no response to the remote. haven't looked into it any further at this stage.

This is the truck I took away last week up to Double Island Point Lighthouse.
Nice shot looking South towards Noosa and home.

Obviously it is an ex-Fraser Island tour bus but the boys thought it was worth hanging on to and converting to a camper for their own use ...... but now it's time to move on. The conversion is fairly basic. Only a small water tank and very simple fitout but the bones are all there as they say. It's running on 255/100R16's.

Heavy duty aftermarket A/C condenser for the Fuso cab. I should point out that the large rooftop A/C unit for the bus pod has been removed all but the case. I can't see a reason why it's still up there.

The interior is very clean.

Lying on the bed looking forward. These buses have an extra wide pass through into the cab. Hence the custom snorkel if you look back to the second pic.
