I have a 1967 Patrol that looks a lot like that. They are very fun to drive, and there's not really anything to go wrong with on them. Mine had several flaws when I bought it which I am still working out. I replaced the generator with an alternator and switched from positive ground to negative. Also blew a coolant line but they are easy to get ahold of. It's good that guy has slave cylinders because those have to be imported from Aussieland(I just did mine=$$$). The stock hand crank for the motor does suck(I bend mine all the time) so it's good he's upgraded that. You'll have a hard time running alloy wheels on it because of the front centerbores being slightly larger than normal, but it can be done. Here's a good site with a bunch of info on them:
