The "well done" all goes to Dion. I have never before met a person that knows so much about a single subject

Looking forward to the pics

Anything you're specifically after? I can check my collection of photos.

All pics requests are now to go to Steve, haha. As he is the custodian now.

Anybody thinking of this type of swap, I have plenty of advice to offer: just PM me and I will overload you with information, including all the shortcuts I wish I'd known.

I'll chuck some info when I'm on a pc rather than my mobile.

Just like to see the finished product as this is so similar to what I had planned for mine back in the day

Steve can chuck up some photos of the finished product when he's ready?

I can add some of the upgraded seats:

I had some Terrano seats for it but the driver's one had a twisted backrest frame as I got them from a Terrano where an old bloke had done the standard mistake-accelerator-for-brake, it's-not-stopping-push-harder-on-the-"brake" in reverse and nailed a telegraph pole backwards at a fair pace... Swapped in a backrest frame from a seat with a worn out base.

Well, done 400k this week and all good. No errors or probs with running gear.so I'm tipping there will be none in the future. A medal to Dion for workmanship . Will put the new door trims on tomorrow, and have ordered the new tarp.

Hi Scotty, I know you once said " wouldn't pull the skin off a custard" but mate, if you ever drove a clapped out z24? A postie bike would be a step up. Lol. All good mate, your v6 is just fine for my application . Especially in a 24 yo king cab

 

[Bearindabush]

Pics mate, where's the pics?

 

[bobys]

Below is a list of "to do" things left on Bobys. Rooflining, steel bullbar to replace old alloy one. Alloy boxes under tray to replace ****** old steel ones. Big spotties to replace little Narvas. A pair of extra mufflers to quieten down the twin system. In dash UHF. Regas the A/C for summer. Remove the whole LPG kit that was running the old Z24. All this will be done in next few months with a little help from a good friend.

Any further developments Steve?
