Everybody knows the '62-'91 jeep grand wagoneer is a true classic, the original suv, none of this nasty lurching wheezing landrover rubbish .
Recognized Style aficionados acknowledge that The 'wood' enhances its iconic kitsch status !

Get to work you 4 pot loser or i'll tell sweaty !

P.S milk and 1 sugar please ......

P.P.S Being of good stock i have never had the dubious pleasure of being inside a mondeo ghia, enlighten me Neil ? :)

Just got my car back from Ant after a rework of my conversion due to a problem with the manifold . Two years on and Ant still done the work under the guarantee the man is true gentlemen and i would reccomend anybody who wants a conversion to go to him.
My mates h27 could not keep up with me to a ton :D :cool:

The problem was we think the weight of the turbo because it was mounted low down cracked the manifold.

NP Chris, she's running just over 10psi now BTW :thumb:

@ Chu, the original was bottom mounted and shock cooling from water spray whilst driving would seem the main culprit, the manifold was far from FUBAR but it was indeed time for a rethink and remake.

Did well though :wink:
