Targa

please restore the exterior to full 80's glory...

 

Hahahaha nooooo.

Its a bit late now 

I know nothing. 

 

Is that a Celeste on the hoist?

ill check tomorrow. its nearing completion. Had a lot of rust through it which has been cut out. Nearly ready for paint.

Hey am wondering if anyone knows of someone who has done a rb conversion on a l200 ute.

I have just started doing one now so am undeterred if its the first of its kind.

Have started gutting the interior today and stripping out the loom etc that i wont need. Am pretty happy with the progress but was a bit dubious about cutting into the firewall. Am fitting a RB30 firewall for the new gearbox. Managed to get the engine in to have a quick fit with the box attached and see how it sits. As per the photos its going to be tight. Update you more as it happens. 

So have come across this pretty straight looking l200 with no rust ( a little in the door ) that i have started making plans for. As it sits it has no engine or gearbox so i have decided to fit a RB22DET 5 Speed to it and see how she goes. 

Interested to hear peoples views on this and here to get some great advice at the same time.
