It's a Holden engine. Scrap metal?
Going to start on the one which is already in bits.
The first challenge is to clean up my shed, so I can roll the chassis inside.

I finally got the 80" (that i bought on ebay a week or so ago) home with a lot of help from Hodgo and Andrew (Poverty). Andrew lent me his amazing 130 TD5 "Cooee" and Hodgo came for the run and lent a hand.
There don't seem to be any numbers left on it - the LHS engine mount was cut off to install what looks to me like a later 2 litre diesel. (eng no. 118601594).
She will be getting stripped (to complete my other 80" when I get it back home as well) and the diesel, firewall, chassis, tub and PTO will go onto evilbay to finance the resto.
Boy, didn't the combo get some attention on the way home!

Aha so you bit me in the ebay auction that old truck went for silly moneys any ways hope that you enjoy your little 80"Quote:

Still haven't cleaned up my shed. Too wet on Saturday to empty it out. :(
G'day Beckford, the firewall is quite good with (as far as I can see) rust only along the bonnet line on the front. footwells and interior look quite good. Unfortunately the instruments have been smashed. There are a couple of bits welded on but should grind off OK.Quote:
