Hi all
Thought it time to post some photos of my project. I'm swapping an old turbocharged Fiat Twin cam for an XUD11 out of a Zantia as it will have more power and much better fuel economy.
just to give a flavour of as was (I built the teardrop for shows)
Ripping out the old
making a bit more space
modified LDV Pilot gearbox
fits nicely
plenty of clearance
will 3 inches be enough ground clearance?
bulkhead needs some more work
getting a bit smoother
have been making up some new bonnet catches and fitting a new bonnet(last one had an argument with some bushes in the rain last year) and need to replace the electronic pump for a Bosch
