I was thinking about that, bit I don't think it will work to be honest! There is about 5mm tops inbetween the bolt tab thing and the chassis.

The engine is already tilted over a bit as I have removed the drivers side engine mount spacer!

It's only a temporary solution really, as I'm currently organising getting some 16v stainless headers made up

After a year and a week off the road... ITS BACK!
Got my MOT yesterday! :D

After it failed before christmas and I did all the work to it, they found a couple more patches of rust I had to plate over, a missing split pin and away we go!!! :D

So believe it or not I have an MOT pass cert with no advisories!!

Wow its actually been a year since I posted in here!!!

Just a quick update, I haven't really done much to the zook! I've put some new gauges into the dash, a new CD player, and a nice phone mount on the windscreen... so now I have a nice entertainment system going on! It was useful for the Billing show as I woke up and streamed the Formula 1 race onto my phone, with the sound coming through the stereo :)

As a result of snapping an add a leaf in half I have also replaced both of the front springs with Potty springs.... 2" lift variety that I got from Dave at Llama 4x4. As usual, top bloke, sorted in minutes!

I will get pics of the new bits and pieces and post them later on :)

Another raving review for Llama.

So how you getting it to wagtail on that front diff? Or is it still driveable?

Just no 4wd! Kind of takes the fun out of a 4x4 site!
