Here is my 82 four door limo.
Had a 4.3 litre stroker but I popped it so it's a 3.5 at the moment.
Diffs are laminated housings with Maxi Drives front and rear.
Hi tough nickel alloy axels and Haultech CVs.
Tyres are Simex ET's 35 x 10.5 x 16.
Has LPG as well as petrol with sill tanks.
ARB bar with Warn hi-mount winch.
Garmen 128 GPS.
Heaps of dents and scratches.
I love it

Rangie wrecker,
Good model and colour, same as mine. Just needs a ZF auto and it will be perfect (mine's being fitted as we speak, by me of course
). I also have a 4.3 stroker block at home, ready to be rebuilt one day sometime

Trav, I put a vehicle over backwards during round three of the winch challenge in 2002 (see photo) and Glen Binskin repeated it right behind me, trust me...I like to have a clutch pedal I just wish I had jumped on it earlier.
