body swap vm5 body on 3b shassis and engine(pics)

[buschmaster86]

My landcruiser burned ou because i put a little tu much foam in the engine compartment

No problem until a long steep hill road.

anyway i have a new vm5 body with electrics so i have something to hobby on now

I hope i can ask some instalation questions here the coming time because the job looks quite overwelming for me as a electrical dummy

What's a VM5??

 

[buschmaster86]

vm5 is a engine which was in alot of the bj73 in south europe because import regulations and tax rules (there is a vm4 and a vm5 both are as unrelaible as me in a nightclub.)

the body and the axles are the same only the engine was different (no toyota)
