And another with the engine out oh it’s old home, I did not take the whole front apart on the white one it’s how I bought it with lots missing so it really is a scrapper

Here is a pic of the 200tdi in the donor vehicle

Ok so been away from here for a whike but been very busy with the truck, engine swap is all done and she is back up and running on the road again. My weekly fuel bill has gone from £60 to £35 so that’s a big thumbs up for the 200tdi swap but was mega disappointed at first with performance so I...

Im in par so just the other side of St Austell from you

No,nope not sure what you mean, just letting people know some info,no mention of a price lol Cheers buddy

Oh so also to mention a low mileage (73000) 3.9 multipoint injection engine all running spot on will be listed on eBay in a couple of days and will be in the truck till it sells so it can be seen running. Zf auto box also going on the bay after.

Ok guys it's come down to this, I love driving this truck but the fuel bill is getting rediculas with running this and a v8 pro street capri and I ain't selling the capri so it boils down to either I sell the truck or I change the engine. So just bought a rotted out 200tdi to swap engine and box...

And everyone loves one in primer lol

Slightly side view to show that this bumper actually doesn't stick out too far but as you can see the ends still need capping off but they will also wrap around to where the wing goes into the wheelarch

Front view of the bumper so far but not finished yet as I have plenty more ideas to put into it

This pic shows how I welded the plates then cut the shape I wanted afterwords

Most certainly so I shall get the pics up now but it still is not finished

Yep you sure do, I wanted the winch as far back and as high as poss without moving any of the air con pipes or trans cooler oh and I was not prepared to pay like £500 for one lol so out came the welder again plus I enjoy it. Yeah there great fun cars and iv had mine from when I was learning to...

Since the last pic I've welded all the inside joins so will get it back on in the next couple days to make some more so it actually looks like a bumper again,I have also done some servicing to the old Landu aswell with new plugs,ht leads, and new water pump with viscous clutch and aux belt on...

Sorry it's a bad and very dark photo but it was getting late and it was finally free standing as bolted to the truck and not on blocks keeping it there

Side view if the winch plate mock up

Thanks for that I have just read it and I also read somewhere on the net that a 2" lift was not that bad on stock stuff but would benefit from d2 double cardinals and castor correct but il do these in the near future, the truck needed new suspension anyway as it was all sagging lopsided so I put...

Thanks for the heads up I will do as I really don't want to damage a nearly pristine body work through stupidity lol and I bet it's a nightmare to try and tig that thin alloy body

No I don't have any on it yet and I think this pic is a bad angle or something because it appears to have a fair rake to it where it's pretty level in real. Do you think it is necessary for me to get castor correct for just a 2" lift?
