Really like the engine bay and the colour of the ancillaries.

Good also to see a member on the forum from down home in Daaarset. That makes two of us :D :D :D

Surfenstein, that is a beast. I wouldn't mind watching and hearing that from behind at the lights.

I'm brand new here after tripping and falling in from an engine swap search. Yorkshire man with basic mechanical knowledge waiting for my mk1 2.0 4wd hilux to arrive from SA.
I'm intending on spending some money on it to make it my pride and joy. Is a rover v8 swap fiezable with the early model like Ive baught?
