Here is another project that has started, which I will try document the mods that I do them.
As per the title the plan is to do some major mods to my LN61 3Y Surf which includes a motor and trans transplant from a VN 3.8l V6 commodore. Intention is for it ot be road leagal so will require certification.
Basic plans are as follows.
Body lift 50mm
New long rear leaf springs and anti wrap bar.
Rear discs.
SAS the front axle.
Move fuel tank to back.
Remote mount the transfer box and rotate a little to lift front drive output and remove bottom mount to increase ground clearance.
Body and suspension lift to easily run 35" tyres.
VN 3.8 mtr and trans.
Auto locker in the back.
Auto locker in the front until I can afford to splash out on a air locker.
Here is a picture of the surf before work started.

Here is a picture of the donor vehicle

Will also try and ramp each stage of the suspension mods on a 20 deg ramp.
Here are a couple of pictures of it in standard form but with front anti-roll bar disconected. In both directions the wheel up the ramp was about 430mm abouve the ground. As can be seen in the photos the artic is not that flash, will be much better once I have finished.
