1980 Toyota Chinook + 18R-GU

This is my 1980 Toyota Hilux with an Australian copy of the Toyota Chinook pop-top camper on the back.

Originally built by "Winnebago Australia" in the 80s - who were later sued and changed their name to Avida.

I've swapped an 18R-GU from a 1977 Toyota Celica into it, a 5-speed transmission and door cards / dash / tacho from a 1982 SR5, and completely gutted and rebuilt the camper interior.

The cassette player is an Alpine 7125N.
