    Stage 1 V8 wgn

    Well I bought a 2a and was thinking of fitting a V8 and Lt95 box into it, so I went out and bought all the gear ( V8, box, panels etc ) and then found out I would need to change the front axle to a stage 1 or similar plus update all the braking etc

    So after alot of thinking I decide to buy Landyandy's stage 1 and start all over again




    Stripped dash waiting for the custom one to go in, but need to do alot of re-wiring as its had previous fire's


    Waiting for new seating


    Capstan winch fitted to front but will be removed as I don't want it

    There is alot of things need doing like all the wiring is ????? but hopefully by new years there will be a stage 1 parked in the drive instead of the disco.

    If anyone needs panels, g/box, v8 etc have a look in the markets as there all for sale including the 2a

    Just a small update

    I have re-installed all the cooling system and then found out that the water pump is stuffed so instead I turned to doing the custom dash again.








    Just waiting for some gauges and then all the wiring can get sorted once and for all

    I am watching with interest. I wouldn't have thought of putting those components into a series III. I like what you have done with the drawers.

    But I do think keeping the fuel tank in the rear is better than in the passenger seat footwell.
