Summat seems odd about this, well, the piccie really. Windscreen

Yeah I spotted that too, most odd... perhaphs it a interplanitary moon rover
prototype, no rain and all that.

I'd suspect it's an old piccy, otherwise I'd have to become
suspicious....owwwhhh sod it.. now I'm just suspicious!

very steep. Mind, it has (allegedly) got a 3.9 in it.

Once, when the secrets of science were the jealously guarded property of
a small priesthood, the common man had no hope of mastering their arcane
complexities. Years of study in musty classrooms were prerequisite to
obtaining even a dim, incoherent knowledge of science.
Today, all that has changed: a dim, incoherent knowledge of science is
available to anyone. - Tom Weller, Science Made Stupid, 1986

That reserve alone seems too high, sure, it might make it, but its a
pretty high hurdle.

quite. now if it were a radbod, or even an ambi...

but GSs are not making that kind of money generally unless it's much better
than the picture shows.

It does have a good spec engine and new canvas.

how does he get high-ratio final drive, I wonder? And will the gearbox take
the power that the engine, if decent, should put out?

Common mod. Change the transfer box gearing to the high ratio.
Simple enough job, pull the intermediate shaft out a little, drop the
existing gear off, replace with the high ratio, replace intermediate
shaft.

Course, it's always easy when you go a tool known as 'Warren' ;-)

must sort that blowing manifold out.....again..... (myself!).
