Mmmmm, not THAT cheap. Maybe I'll give it some more thought.

There, that was enough thinking.


If I get the go ahead from SWMBO,(She's sick ATM, and doesn't want to discuss it ) then I'll talk turkey with the owner. No it will remain absolutely stocker, no lift, no winches etc, just a nice clean, original HSE for me to use. Thats right, its all about ME

At my age I deserve a bit of comfort....I'm never parting with the RRC, it is the trip/ touring/ towing rig.

JC

forget about the p38 and waith for a 130 Defe to come along, then the Isuzu goes in and you will have a great vehicle!

(I know Jace gave up trying to put a HS 2.8 in one but he wanted to keep the P38 auto box.
How would you go putting in the TDi and the ZF 4HP22

If it is immaculate as you say, and you obviously know and approve of the history, why not.

A tophat conversion is what, 1500? plus a bottom end rebuild then you will never have to worry about that part again. (even if you want to put another stock 4.6 in pm me, i have 1 left).

Keep it V8, nice and simple. Gas it if you are worried about fuel.


If my wife liked them, she would be driving one instead of her caprice.

If you need to help sway the wife, let her drive one.

If you need to help sway the wife, let her drive one.

thats how we got ours

i didn't want a HSE to start with either herd all the bad stories

so i tried her in a 2000 Patrol first up

her reply take this thing back where you found it

next was a 100 seriers Crusier
she drove it no more than 1km and said the same thing

so i grab the 98HSE

her reply after a short drive,go talk money with them

great cars to drive
