Time to sort the fleet
There is a bit of work to be done on my fleet at present.
I have a 460 300GD LWB my offroader with a well worn gear box in need of replacement .( I love driving it and prefure a LWB for laning )
a very tidy 460 300GD AUTO LWB with a leak main oil seal leak .
a 460 300GD turbo SWB with a rough body old springs and a broken rear shock after last weekend :D but the engine and box are in fine condition .
This is the plan that starts next weekend at Bills and carrys on till its done :D
.
Remove the engine from the tidy 300GD and fit the turbo engine from the SWB finishing up with a very tidy 460 300GD turbo auto nine seater .
Remove the four speed box from my 300GD Green laner and fit a five speed box and all the linkage that go with it plus some other jobs whil im at it ending up with a useable capable green laner .
plus a load of other spares to keep the beastys alive
photos to follow ,

this comment has just been sitting in my head while the football is on. i think im going to have to explain to any partner in the future that i could be wasting over a thousand pounds a year (easily) watching men run about in shorts and surely that investing in a vehicle for family outings is a much better idea. you also wont be boring her with tedious stats and complicated foreign names

p.s if anyone tries this and her in doors hold a temper, i hold no responsibilty!
yep , im a lucky man .

ah howards old 560! bet it drives like a beast!
yes it does, just speaking to the credit card company now for an extension on the limit so I can go to wales on the 11th and 12th,
COS ITS BLOODY JUICY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. Sounds good though. If nothing else, i'll die skint, but with a big smile.
the beast is mean!
i would have had it peter, but couldnt convince her!
well not when i have;
clk55cabrio
vito 110 cdi(not for long though,hartepoole here i come!!!)
G300D cabrio.
Tell us more about the beast peter.whats it like in comparison to the 280GE on/off road?Anyhow enjoy your unique G mate.
my little ol 280 was great, and still is, sits in a barn ready for the chop into a competition off roader, has done for the last 3 years. Buts thats on hold until I get this one out of my system. Big V8 are great, but you have to be careful though, can break shafts if you get to excited.
ENJOY!!
