Ok so I have been busy the last two days doing things and thought I would share some pics of whats been going on.
I have Removed engine and box (RD28t) and cleaned and touched up paint in the engine bay and under body.
I also used both Tail shasfts and made one to suit. pulled the guts out as this was the easiest way to do it. The T-shaft mounts up to the TD42 box and the RD28 diff thus keeping my 4.6 ratio and also minimizing work.
This afternoon it decided to rain so work has stopped for the day and i decided to have a bourbon and then..maybe.. pull the centre console out. Had a chat with my local mech about getting a dump pipe to suit and also making up a "spacer" so I dont cut and weld a new engine mount.
Only thing is I may have to change the gear lever around because looking at them it may not line up. Only reason I can think why is because it came from a ute and not a wagon. If anybody has info then please share.
Cleaned and painted the rusty bit after photo
