Hi all, i have posted a few times asking for help on random bits and bobs but this post is to update and show the process of my v8 project.. i currently have a landrover 3.5L injected engine with only 48000 kms on it with loom and ecu.. then i have a nissan rb25det manual gear box to fit unsure of kms though.. and in now on the hunt for a ford 9inch solid diff to fit.. reason for the heavy box and diff is that after i have finished the entire car i will be eventually be shoving on two turbos just for fun.. so ill try to remember to take photos as i go and update you all

Had a busy day yesterday.. i went to Warkworth to pick up a shortened hilux diff that was previously in a ke30 corolla running a sr20 engine and box.. it came with leaf springs and drive shaft which is helpful to me as i can cut off the end that i need to make a new one for my v8.. i then took the home to Castor Bay and unloaded then loaded up my engine and box and drove out to Manukau to get my new bell housing made up.. had a yarn to the guy there and it looks like im going to be using him a lot as he new how to do everything from custom flywheel to editing my current stock shocks to be adjustable with out changing any mounts or any part of the body.. so this is just an update explaining i am throwing cash at my avenger to get her done this year..
