This is my better half's car- it was one of my first attempts at a rebuild so it was pretty ordinary! Now we're having a baby so I'm building into a family car. Mods will include,v6/turbo 700 b/w,leather interior with a dakota dash and boyd coddington smoothie 2's (17x8,17x7) colour will be hothouse green.her's some pics so far






these repairs are all still in progress but I'll post some more as I get further

Looks like you're not scared to get stuck in to it, keep us updated xxl, keen to see how you go mate,

That wont end up a family car hehe , sounds too good

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

too cool , A mate once had a jeep with a blown 312 thundertbird engine in it - What a scarey ride that was , It had massive mud tyres but itd pick em up across the intersections , and then at high speed it just felt a little unstable for my undies
Sounds like you love your fun

very good base for a project!! and it should be a nice thing once the v6 goes in there!

That would be Batchy?

hey mate, would love to come visit you when your putting the v6 in as i really want to do it to my car also:)

i like the before photos if someone said they were gunna paint an EK that colour i would be a bit
but instead i think
hot house green is a colour i've been thinking of for my van if it gets shinny paint

haha yeh we copped a bit for that paint job!! It was panama green if anyone wants to know.Anybody that wants to have a look feel free to pm me and I'll give you my details.
I love my toys!! the cruiser I've had since I was 18 and now it's gonna be a promtional thing ,I specialize in custom ally work,at this stage the motor is looking to be a conservative 450 hp and the whole rig weighs 870 kilos!!

i have an idea v6 turbo 700 in the landcruiser
6/71 and 350 in EK

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)

any updates?

Sorry Guys,been off the airwaves a bit with work etc but I've got a few more progress pics. We've changed tack a little bit as now we have an Hd wagon I quickly threw together for a family cruiser.I'll chuck some pics up when I get some more time

It had a rear quarter thrown on it in a previous life so I put the filler (vp) over the join -it worked out well as it cut out a bit of bog work and the filler is in just the right spot

will have a remote boot release so no more holes!!!

I massaged the firewall a bit but it looked crap so in a rare fit of energy I put in a flat one out of 1.6
