The Avante? That's the buggy that had alloy everything and multi link rose-jointed suspension! I remember it.
My mate had one when I was a teenager, but he kept breaking it cos he couldn't drive
I couldn't afford to buy it off him either. As far as I know, he still has it in his attic - must be worth something now!!
Suntan lotion - no way!!!
I once used EP 80 gearbox oil in my shocks. Needless to say all the O-rings dissolved and my shocks were soon bone dry
