I can safely say I never killed the txb as the 4wd never worked when I had it. You got this all done now then? I've had enough of the 1.6 zafira I replaced this with (family car...!) Picking up an is200 tomorrow with any luck.

Theres still a bit of welding to do and I've got to fit the locking kit to the new txb and fit it.

After that I may use it as a 2.0 for a bit then crack on with the v6 conversion.

Still got some styling bits to do as well like fit the door spats and re paint the lower half. Fit and paint the bonnet extension and sort some dents out on the bonnet.

Good job this is a project :)

Well fired the old girl up today just to get her warmed up. Took some pics of the interior.

It's getting used as more of a storage cupboard at the moment unfortunately though :(
