Re: fj40 landcruiser

Don't get me wrong, I know they are pretty tough- It's more of a case of 'expect the worst-hope for the best' . :lol: :D

Re: fj40 landcruiser

Thanks for the positive comments guys, It's a hilux diff in the front,I'm using complete hilux steering from diff to steering wheel- the hilux diff itself isn't the strongest but it allows me to set up everything (and make sure it's all going to work!) and when I bust that diff I can go 9 inch(I ...

fj40 landcruiser

hi all,
I've got some pics of a car I'm building- It's been off the road about ten years now and I'm getting stuck into finishing her off. I've had her since I was 18 and it's kind of turned into grandpa's axe-7 heads and 14 handles but I can't part with it! My brother calls it the anti-christ ...

Re: J's EK doin some foolay siek skidz bro (vid)

Hi J, I don't know if it's been mentioned elsewhere on this thread but that was definitley Burnsey's car.He might be a member on here somewhere. We used to always run into each other-we both got our cars on the road at about the same time and both thought we'd picked an uncommon colour for them, as ...

sweet! thanks for that mate! That's an awesome looking engine.A strange fact though- FB/EK's have 40mm more room from the rear of the radiator support panel to the firewall than a 57 chev? (the chev does have the radiator in front of the support panel though)

funny you should say that..... The chev will probably end up in the panelvan! I made my own twin butterfly style injector hat which covers the carby's -makes it look like mechanical injection plus I'll have enough room under the bonnet (almost-I think it will poke through an inch or so)

well maybe a really nice family car!! We were going to do a wagon but when we started stripping it it kind of folded up! I also have an ek panno that will be a 'toy'! I also have a swb fj40 cruizer with an ally body(that's my business) with a 6/71 blown 350 going in it
