Made a start on the rear X member.
It will be braced as the drawings show. Also the rear coils will be mounted to the X member.

Got given a motor
A whole 2.2ltrs of pure diesel power
Will do the job well and it was free. The guy who gave it to us is even going to come and pick up the body once we are finished with it.

Okay the chassis is stripped and the motor is sitting place.
We now know that the body is going to have the drive tunnel cut out and replaced with a nice square sided sheet metal one.
Will post pics soon.

Bomb being the operative word!!!
We couldn't even drive it. No transfere, no dizzy or carb on the Toyota 4k engine.
Spose you can't expect too much for $400

Bit more progess.
Got the motor mounted, working on the gearbox etc.
Discovered the the Zuk body is going to have to undergo a major chop in the floor to accomodate the new drive train.

We thought about the Diesel being heavy too be as we are using the rear spring out of a Hilux on the front of the Zuk it should be alright.
