And the Big question:
Where do I find parts for this truck?
Was able to order brand new pair of Front turn signal lights here on Ebay and they came from Indonesia in 4 days and cost was including S&H!
Engine parts- BMW diesel parts are available through many suppliers in USA, driveline and suspension parts are also widely available from number of 4×4 suppliers both in Europe and Asia
The M21 Engine was used on the E28 524 TD until 1988 and also on the E30 324 Td until 1993 also here in the US on the Lincoln Continental Mark VII
Riding on a set of almost new winter tires, was able to cruise at 120 Km/h on the freeway, or 74 Mph (please see video below) I have never felt comfortable in any of my Land Rover defenders (close to 10) at such speeds, but this truck was holding on good and felt stable.

From Wikipedia:
Assembled in Turin, Italy for European sales, the version called Bertone Freeclimber used mechanical components by Daihatsu, although it was powered by a BMW 2443 cc turbo diesel or one of two BMW petrol engines (1991 cc and 2693 cc), with a
Bertone
modified body. The first Freeclimber is a well-equipped, high-end deluxe (luxury car) off-roader produced from 1989 to 1992. In France, where only the diesel was available, the importer Chardonnet offered an even more luxurious version. Named after a perfume by Nicolas de Barry it was called "Blue Lagoon", and was available with either
Alcantara
or leather interior. Bertone built about 2800 Freeclimbers, of two generations.
