Well,

I went down to Brunswicks on Thursday to drop off a few bits to be fitted to "The Fire Engine" and the 6.5 litre V8 Chevy Diesel is in the chassis. It looks like it was born there. Nice new, shiny pulleys and pipes 'n fings. It certainly fits better than the original 2.8 motor ever did!!

They've also fitted the GQ gearbox and the two 3.9 diffs, new Lovell coil springs all round with Koni gas shocks and air bags. It sits about 4 inches than it did before but that'll settle at about 2 inches after a few weeks I reckon.

The auto leccy is due to wire it up today - 2 new batteries, a Redarc, Cruise Control, Tekonsha Prodigy van brake controller, immobiliser and alarm ( can't afford to lose this one like the 'Cruiser eh!) etc.

Now if I can figure out how to post pics here,,,,,,,,,,,,,
