CarolsHusband Posted September 18, 2018 Author Posted September 18, 2018 Averages for August. LPG............£ 0.61 per litre Petrol.........£ 1.29 per litre Diesel.........£ 1.32 per litre. I don't know about the maths RV8 + conversion kit + LPG conversion = probably a while until I make the difference back. And obviously my run of luck with the old 3500's would then end in a blaze of bent heads, flattened cams and oily clutches. Quote
tortron Posted September 19, 2018 Posted September 19, 2018 Must be plenty of rusted out jags with 350/350 conversions you could nab 1 Quote
CarolsHusband Posted September 19, 2018 Author Posted September 19, 2018 You know I live in England, right ? Rusty, yes. Small blocks ? Errr........ Quote

CarolsHusband Posted September 19, 2018 Author Posted September 19, 2018 You fuckers think I'm joking. No more RV8's, small blocks, 1.9tdi's, UZ1's, 2JZ's, or Welease Wodericks, thank you. /Pic of irrelevant L200 on my Hilux rims. 2 Quote
chasinthemirage Posted September 19, 2018 Posted September 19, 2018 Have you got access to a forklift? I'd like to see some forklift flex pics plz Quote
CarolsHusband Posted September 20, 2018 Author Posted September 20, 2018 With the rust that's in that chassis, it'd be more crack than flex. 1 Quote
CarolsHusband Posted September 21, 2018 Author Posted September 21, 2018 Anyhoo. Wheels on, L200 gone so hopefully get the old crate home this week and I can crack on before the snow starts..... pics 7 Quote
CarolsHusband Posted November 19, 2018 Author Posted November 19, 2018 Finally I got my arse in gear and towed the old banger to my mates place. He's said I can take as long as I want but I'm aiming to get it done within 3 weeks. pics... Eastbound & down. Settled in nicely Slightly more holes than i first thought but still not too bad, Eviction notice served on headlamp bowl squatters. More updates on the way thick and fast, hopefully. 7 Quote

tortron Posted November 22, 2018 Posted November 22, 2018 More pics of Bedford plz Lux is pretty crusty, are panels available? Quote
CarolsHusband Posted November 22, 2018 Author Posted November 22, 2018 Not much (like none) in pattern parts, gonna drop into the local Toyota dealer on Monday and see if anything's still available. My mate's pretty handy and he's got a roller, folder, etc so we'll get pretty close. That or just rant a bit of box section in there and cover it in checker plate..... TM has a Detroit and a 12 speed but it hasn't got a Land Rover tipper body, in case you were wondering. Quote
