I went from Osamis to a town called Cotabato to pick up a light truck. Mindanao, a little smaller than Hokkaido and larger than Kyushu A week-long trip around the island from north to south It was a three-day trip with three men.
We were quite worried about passing through a Muslim area on the way, but we made it home safely. On the way home, they took the long way around to be on the safe side, so they didn't stop for 24 hours.
The car is very tired, but the condition of the body is not a question as it is a study of engine repair. A Japanese person living in Cotobato gave it to me for free after many emails back and forth.
The engine could not be started, the battery was gone, and the car body was rusted out.
I went with Charlie who drove, a guide, and one other engineer.
This is how the fifth car came to our house. Chevrolet Optira and Hyundai Starex, a KIA Bongo and two Suzuki Carry light trucks. Once he's healed, we might take it to Mango Farms or convert it to a jeepney to be a passenger hauling vehicle. Incidentally, if the cargo bed is modified to add space for passengers, it can accommodate 10 people.
But the inside is a wreck. The sheets are also torn up because rats have gnawed on them.
You may have noticed that the steering wheel has been switched from right to left. That's why the dashboard is so amazing.
