Certainly was. I'm only just getting back to full height...

It's been a few years since I first chucked a photo of my 2 Door "Blackbeard" up here and it's had a few different things done to it since then so I figure I might as well put an updated photo up

Hi all, this is my '95 Classic soft dash when I bought it. 152,000 km. I have put it on LPG as shown and moved the sub from r to l to allow for the gas tank. Everything is still working and I will keep it so. When the time comes I may put in a 4.6 as an upgrade for towing. I love driving these cars, this is my 3rd RRC, so comfortable for long trips and so capable in stock form for some reasonable off road travel. Phil

Finally got myself another Classic . It lasted 2 weeks and someone else seems to have claimed it

Future plans, fix msa adapter, change transcase to atb 1.222, change msa 5g to a 5r, change intercooler to water to air, full air bag the rear, fit sill tanks, better tyres, respray the body.

How's the ATB go in the front on gnarly stuff? I'm between a rock & a hard place deciding between an ATB front and E-locker rear, or just a pair of e-lockers...

That's a really good idea for an lpg tank ... you could move the spare out to the rear bar ... and put a donut tank where the spare currently resides. I bet capacity it tiny though.

Never really used it in real gnarly stuff, it does its job though, but I am lazy and you just point and shoot not having to worry about locking it in. Car has been on my hoist since January, must get motivated to fix it one day, ahhhhh

Hi Shane,
the tank capacity is 80 litres. The install was done by Graeme Cooper, we spent quite some time looking at different tank configurations before I settled on this. It was decided to mount the tank on the right side to make the filling easier, also to hide the filler in with the petrol filler so to keep the classic looks. I moved the sub woofer to the left in place of the spare wheel which is mounted on the rear bar, another of Graeme Cooper's fabrications. The space lost in the cargo bay is minimal as compared to the "scuba" style tanks. This also allows for a long rage fuel tank as well.
Cheers,
Phil
