About time for an update I think. Further improvements/mods have been made since I last posted a progress report.
I have replaced the engine and gearbox with those from a different Lexus and have also used the complete Lexus wiring harness.
The transit now has an electrically ajustable steering column which returns to a preset position when you remove the ignition key.
The radiator is now from an auto Shogun, as is the oil cooler that keeps the steering fluid cool.
Next on the to do list is re-fitting the dashboard along with the hologram instruments and raising the position of the shifter to a more
comfortable position, then I'll convert the lot to run on LPG.
You know what its like when you're not quite happy with a job, the best thing to do is do it again and that's what I've done.
Can anybody please explain how to post photos then you can have pictures.
Cheers, Rich.
