Rear tubs are usually fooked one way or the other, yours looks great and hard to find.
I'd probably keep it as it is or go for 24v cossie and uprated running gear.

Very nice, would love to have one, but these things are hard to find.

Have fun with it.

Not too sure on engine at the moment, will just turn the pump and boost up for now.

I want to mint the underneath first, it feels very loose both front and rear. Lowering the rear asap too. Just painting some lattices for it at the moment

Awesome mate. There's a turbo diesel one that goes to one of our local meets and he's tuned that quite well and apparently goes very well too

The back wheels will look lost in the arches. Are you using a capri rear axle??

No Glenn, I will be using wheel adaptors on the rear so it will have an extra 20mm.

Hopefully some work will take place this weekend

Quite a bit been going on with this over the last couple of weeks, I added the capri multi-leaf springs, changed all rear bushes to poly and added the lowering blocks although ended up taking these out as it was just too low to carry anything.

Also added rear wheel adapters and cossie rims - its coming along now

Came across a cheap rebuilt 1.8td which I am now in the process of fitting, also new clutch and spigot bearing, crank seal, oil filter & glow plugs

replaced the fuel filter housing as it was leaking

Hopefully will look at upping the boost and fueling a bit once I am back up and running

also painted the bed in black as it was very scruffy
