Well started to try and sort the V8
Sorted the rear lights by removing the Gay ones and re-fitting normal jeep ones


then started looking at the sills


but couldn't find them   



your not suposted to see wiring loom through the floor



will be adding new metal in the week

[Dutch]

May have missed but what is the story behind this one ?

Where from and what's so special about it ?

Just curious 

[bigjeepzj]

it's a US import 5.2 V8 lefty
there rare as rocking hores shit over here. only came in 2.5 TD and 4 l 6cly over here.
was owned by Wilo and then Buber and now me

possibly not the most historically important motor on the planet but always wanted a V8 ZJ.
ANd RED was never an option in Europe

[Dutch]

Ah Yes ...... ex Willo, now that rings a bell.

Lots of salty air on da Island ya know 

Good luck!

still a cracking truck wish i had kept it but if i had all the ones i wished i had kept i would need 40 acre field

Did my ZJ cills with 100x100x3mm
Big and heavy but that size is needed to fill the gap.....

I've got a ported throttle body for that engine if you're interested. £200 posted.

Mmmmm, I really love this ZJ.
I'd happily add myself to the list should it ever be looking for a new carer 

[Bubba]

yeah i didnt really want to sell it but my wife talked sensible to me ............. god i hate when that happens

[bigjeepzj]

some more work on the V8
Found some metal to weld to 



having to lift the carpet and the wiring loom out of the way



having to go with 120x120mm box section  as to put back the missing metal 

[wildwood]

Yes I think mine were that and not 100 as I said.
When I went to pick the steel they brought it overhead on a crane in one long length....I thought shit that's large who's that for.....?.
Oops that's for me......lowered onto the monkey metal ZJ bars and a slow ride home......

Happy. Welding

[bigjeepzj]

getting the steel sorted. but saw blade naked so didn't get to welding 
taking a wile due to all the missing steel the tin worms ate.

 

[bigjeepzj]

Been giving the ZJ some more love.
Adding more metal

[bigjeepzj]

All metal add to ZJ next MOT time

[bigjeepzj]
