Looks excellent. I was looking at biulding one up in the mid 80's as just had rolled my 400 Chev powered Hilux with turbo 400 auto and Landcruiser tranfer and axles. Was going to put all this under one. But the ones I found at the time were so full of rust and they stil wanted $2000 for them! So never got to do it.

Beware the tin cancer. Runs rife in this model. Had one in the backyard and it literally fell to pieces after two years outside....went for spares and for free.
