    Well I've got a spare $1000 from this really nice man who brought my 33's and there are a set of rear draws up the coast so maybe them, was out side last night stripping the tint from the passenger side and was thinking of getting that done today as well. If i can find one a snorkel this weekend and I think winch bar and winch will be the next thing. Then sliders, then i can do the lift. Looking at the EFS extreme shocks and springs as i have the contacts for them at the right price but apparently will have to go 10mm longer lower, arms drop boxes and pannard rods. Cant go any hire than 4" as the other 1/2 is vertically challenged.

    Well yesterday I removed the drivers side tint, gets tinted today. Also picked up a new set of rear disks and front pads then replaced the drivers door lower hinge and changed the center console over to a hi-top one out of a 95 RX $50. It's amazing how just a few more inches makes a difference to driving comfort using the lid as an arm rest.

    Thats why I replaced it with the hi top one. Found the standard one just to low and gave a twist in my lower back. $360 later and 18% tint.

    Ok guys, I think the 4.2efi has a cracked head. She uses about 3l of water a week so I'll pressure test it this week. Just chasing people's thoughts on whether I should keep the Tb42 and repair it or....... I have 2 spare v8's. 1 injected 5l and an injected 350 LT1....... Should I fit either of these instead. I mean the 4.2 sucks the juice so the Chev or 308 can't be much worse.
