Sweet colour man, and good score at 2hundy nickkas.
Looks similar to the sort of damage my car was written off for.

Are you gonna get it on the road with NA motor first or swap that turbz rvr engine in?

[be4ver]

Sweet as man what sorts bits n bobs are ya after?

[karlb]

pretty sweet man!! what sort of paint did you use on the dash?and what have you done with the motor out of it?

[be4ver]

Its VHT spray on dye ya get it from repco its in a purple can, it looks nice now but i'm not sure how its gunna do after a few months in the sun ae.

the 1200 motor? its sitting in my driveway rusting at the moment haha

[graham]

hey man i put one of these motors in my 81 l200 just wondering how you sorted out the wiering i cant seam to find an e.c.u pinout eany were if u had one would u b able to post it up. Or just which wires from the rvr loom u hook up to the ignition..cheers

[be4ver]

heres the one i used, its actually a evo 1-3 one but its all the same, just ignore the turbo related stuff.

when i wired mine up i had to put a diode in between the crank and ignition wire on the key so it wouldn't loose power when starting. but your l200 might not be the same.






the only wires ya need are 12 & 25 (red) that power up when ya turn the key on and 8 (white/red) and 60 (black/yellow) which needs power all the time. and 62 (black/ white) needs ignition on too i think you'll see tho, it'll either go or it won't haha
