after much thinking ive decided to not do the motor swap yet as i cant really be botherd :lol: the last time i did an engine swap it went to s**t and ended up costing me a lot of money the motor in the ute seems ok probably getting abit tired but i think ill wait untill it actually blows a mountain load of smoke or dies before swapping motors :P

dont worry tho theres still alot to do.

power steering cooler - done just have to fix a tiny leak
remove aircon - in the process of doing
rust - in the process
i will be buying a au console in the next week or so
hide bonnet cable - i know where i want it to go
fix a dent in the rad support - ill have to drop the p/s and auto coolers down
fix tail gate and spare tyre well door
once this leak is done ill re fit the bumper and head lights

and so on also car should be regod by the end of the month :P

Looking good. What's that liquid or whatever that's on the cement in the pic with the AC compressor?

I guess XG coolant tanks or different as they are in a totally different spot in the engine bay? 'Cos there's obviously the one in your EB and the one you gave me from your old EF.

Also what are you up to on Tuesday?

Yeah too easy. He lives just past me so it'll be on the way anyway. Although I'll probably have to go pickup a trailer first anyways.
