The V8 Owners Forum -

I used to use a Mitsubishi Pajero (the Japanese grey import Shogun), good things were that the LWB seats folded down into a double bed, they are cheap and easy to maintain. Bad bits were economy and relatively low power unless you go for a 3.5 then its just the economy :roll: But you dont need to go...

Are they stainless or mild steel, mine are stainless and the reason I want to do it is to lower the under bonnet temperature.

Getting all the prices and decisions made ready for a winter rebuild to stop all those annoying leaks and noises
