Wow nice shop, that should make it an enjoyable project. Which vehicle is the new motor being donated from?

dieseltoyz · 11-14-07, 09:28 AM

that's what everyone says...but thank you just the same. The donor vehicle is a 1995 hilux surf. -Todd

Well that's one way to get the tub off I suppose, certainetly makes life alot easier when you got a workshop like that. Most people take the motor out of the vehicle, not the vehicle out of the motor!

Got to remember that one, look forward to the completed transplant.

Well, our ultimate goal was not to remove the engine/trans as we are adapting a non-standard powertrain to this vehicle's frame. We wanted to leave the powertrain intact to measure etc. The total time to remove the body was about 30 minutes so it was quite fast to get to this stage. -Todd
