    GU S4 ZD30 to TB48 conversion

    G'day guys. thought id post some progress of my current project, converting my ZD30 to a TB48.
    last year i purchased a written off TB48 S4 patrol for $10,000. It was involved in a front left hand collision into an embankment which bent the chassis. This write the car off but was very minimal visual damage. It had 260k kms on the clock on dedicated petrol, coupled with a full SR-L interior. 1.jpeg
    The engine is in and being wired, the fuel tank has been swapped, all wiring has been replaced with the 48 wiring. interior has been refreshed and photos will come soon!
