Got the block in sort of the right place today... missing the engine mount brackets though.
Spins free and cylinder walls aren't scored so might be OK

Looking good I must say!

Is this going to be a slightly longer version of your SJ?

Is the rear going to be done out like a limousine, I know you like your comforts! :hahaha: :hahaha:

Yeah its going to be a slightly longer and slightly turbocharged version of mine ;)
Will probably get a 1.6 16v eventually!

Wheelbase is 93.5" I think? Samurai is 80"
