GM Engine? you mean the LandRover right?
Not really the place for it, but, dollar for dollar .................

Surely the equation is; (8.9 Litres = redemption) > (Shame of GM X Exposure)

Must... Join... Army... 13 19 01...

Now that's something I'm proud to sink my tax dollars into! Always wanted to blow plenty of loot on a blown P6!

Is there any other details that aren't classified that can be talked about- suspension, interior etc? Will they do the suicide back doors?

well, suspension, full RRS, coil overs, strut rods, lower control arms, calipers, rotors, 3 link, under dash brake booster, rack and pinion steering, p/s pump.

Interior, mainly black with some green to break it up, Vintage Kirky buckets in the front with 4 point harness, remoulded rear into buckets with 4 point harness, lokar shifter, bare dash on each side, in the middle a switch panel and 12 Gauge centre cluster, 6 point roll cage.

Rear doors will be suicided (is that a word?) with "The Metalsmith" hinges from Moorebank. Roof is too high, that'll come down a couple of inches.

What else would ya like to know?

532 cubes, powerglide, full spool 35 spline axles

I made a mess of myself. Makes me wish I'd continued in the cadets and gone on to full time rather than quitting for "study" I didn't do! Ooh.. Ohwell
