Can anyone translate this?

Thinking with it being a snowplough it might have a 1.6 ratio transfer box in like mine, in which case it will struggle to do more than 50-55 without exploding.

Yeah, a 2.5 NA engine. You can collect it out of the skip of my local scrapyard.

Nice translation though

If the revs are high it sounds like a 1.6 t/box.

No if anything it's geared too high is there any way I can find out what it is? Cast markings ect? To be fair it will do 60 in 4th reving it hard.

jamesmartin · Jan 2, 2015

markjgray94 · Jan 2, 2015

Looks good. Like the wheels. Did you sort the lights out?

markjgray94 · Jan 2, 2015

Still to sort out where do you recommend buying them from with grills?

if local to the North East I would recommend Cheviot 4x4, if not LR Direct on line are my number one online supplier. They inexpensive and spectacular fast.

Keep plugging away chap, you will find it takes shape without you even realising.

Got to keep you out of trouble! Still got that box of spares in the garage for you. If you need them in a hurry or are ever in my area let me know, failing that I'll get around to dropping them off at some point.
