SE2 goes 4x4 Turbo

so how will you convert in to 4x4? will the prop and transfer box fit with the 2wd floor pan? as i'm guessing your not cutting out the floor!

thats the fun part ...finding out once we get started we will see if its needing parts cut out welded in

ooooooohhhh im having flash backs of when i did the v6, good luck with it mate,
are you going to remove the heater matrix box and , and do you know that there are two long 8mm bolts in the engine bay at the bulk head just under the steering rack which holds it in aswell as the ones at the top? as this caught me out

[Fraz]

no need to remove the heater

[tazz666]

i just thought that the bulkheads might be different , incase there was welding needed in that general area

yee i will be cutting and welding the foor pan but as fraz says im not sure the exact amount as yet, but cant see it being to much of a prob, im more worried about this wireing loom thats in front of us

[tazz666]

steve mate would it not be easier just to swapp the looms over aswell that would save cutting and splicing of wires?

[v6 steve]

thats what we (fraz david and steva) are doing

[tazz666]

well men of your calibre wont find it hard mate once you get started it will be a sinch, as that is what i did on the v6

[calibre ray]

[v6 steve]
