I thought I needed a spare wheel and since the 33's don't fit and the spacers cost around $100 I thought I might make one with some reverse light mounts and some lights thanks to fletch's boss .... Here is some pics as I went

good luck mate and throw up any questions you have, plenty have done it on here!

Long time no see you on here hope the swap goes well mate

The head gasket gone in between cylinder n cooling...i could fix it n prob will if the head is still ok after the swap. N sell it to recoupe some cash.. The main think I think I need to find is some new engine mount brackets to weld on

Doing this conversion now you going manual or auto?

I'm goin to stay manual mate

So the conversion is done.. Still a few little issues I gotta iron out but it runs n drives great.. So do happy with my decision... Ill be posting up pics n a description of wat I did... Or should I make a new thread for that?
