geez how do you fit 9 passengers??

I think he has one off those models that has the rear rear seats that run north south. 2 seats each side, over the wheel arches.
So he'd have 4 in the rear, 3 in the middle row and 2 up front.
I saw a pic of one on a Philippians web site.

interesting - never seen that layout before!

Here's a pic.

G'day, this is my pig, affectionately nicknamed "the vaj" (wont go into that). It's the cheapest vehicle i've ever had. She's dead straight with no rust and only one small dent. I bought it from a young bloke who'd been told it had a cracked head, pulled it apart and it appeared it was only a blown head gasket. Came complete with 2" lift, 31" MT's, a pioneer stereo head and 200W rear speakers in removable boxes for camping/fishing/partying.

Model: NG exceed import
Year: 1989
Engine: 2.5 TDI auto

Mods:
Cheapo snorkel off ebay
Thermofan
Bullbar ($150 off gumtree)
Spots (2nd handies i scrounged off a wreck)
Spare wheel mounted shovel/kangaroo jack bracket (made at work on nightshift)
Stereo upgrade - 120W door speakers scrounged from my old commodore, 2 x 10" subs and alpine amp i scored from a mate for a bottle of bundy...cranks real well now
False floor in the back for storing all the camping bits

to this date, i've spent about $1600, which included the original purchase price. i haven't managed to bog it yet, but my mate did yesterday. same mate bagged the old paj out when i bought it, cos he's a patrol man, but he spent half of yesterday thrashing around in it and is now in love with it
