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

I like the new look surfenstein !! It is a lot difrent to when i last saw it on the surf forum, Have you posted us pictures up on there yet ?? Or am i just a little blind and not seen them !!
Are you any closer to sorting the 5ltr out yer ?? Or are you still running the 3.9 ??

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?
