Still not finished this project yet ! It’s not got much further than the engine back in and built back up but not touched the paint work yet ! It’s just been parked up but in the last few weeks I’ve pulled the dash out of it and removed the broken wiper arm spindle boxes and Motor ready for some...

Put it on eBay starting it off on a Sunday night at around 8:15pm for a 7 day auction with a 99p starting price & no reserve. Your phone will melt for it pal if you've not already parted with it !

I took a red hot jetwash to the chassis and paint work while I've waiting for the clutch aswell to try and get as much of the old layers of paint off it ready for a respray, if I could get it all right down to it original primer, I'd leave it like that as its does acctually look like duck egg...

This engine change is not as straight forward as I'd of liked it to be ! PROBLEM after problem ! Main headache at the moment was the spigart shaft bearing. Totally different, my old engine has had a steel collar that's been machined to fit in place where the bearing should go, then this has a...

Not got a clue, there was about 10mm difference in the length but they mated back up together ok and the gearbox is spinning the transfer box fine. I'll o ly know when I get it back in the road and road test it !

got the tbox off tonight, spent a few hours after work and swapped them over. Only thing I had to change the brake drum carrier as the auto box was out of a disco, oh and remove the sender for the speedo drive. Got it back in place and bolted up on the back mountsthe only other thing I was...

Thanks, I'll have a look when I finish later on

Finally got the box out last night thank god !Can anyone tell me if the transfer box just unbolted from the gear box casing ? Or is there anything in the back of the transfer box in the big round removable plate (pto) that has to be undone first ? I've got an old auto box that I'm gonna take the...

What size tyres are you running on yours pal ? So a 1.2 ratio will give you more top end rather than acceleration.?

Lol ! Not got an exact figure for the trooper engines pal, but I'd say around 100Bhp-115Bhp. The old engine was screaming it's guts out on the motorway at around 60, so hoping that a disco transfer box is gonna sort that out a bit Coz someone has told me that they have different ratios than a...

Well that's what I thought he was going on about tbh ! But the question threw me as I put some pics on of my Evo engine that punching some power out. As for the landy engine change, I don't need to do anything to it as it already had a trooper engine in it that started knocking, so it's just a...

From which new engine ? Are talking about the trooper engine for the landy? Or my Evo engine I posted pics of ?

Put 3 grand into that engine, the HKS rods were £1100 alone without the Pistons ! Good for 800Bhp with the right turbo, but got it running safe at a healthy 460hp which is more than enough ! Will post some more pics of my engine change as I do it, but need to get the box out now before it go any...
