Hi there, My name is Simon and I live in Surrey, England. I've recently bought a 2001 D22 king cab for 500 quid. Its done 230000 miles and cracked the head so I've replaced the engine and gearbox with a td25 non turbo from a 70000mile D21. I have made new rear brake lines as they were coroded, lifted the tray on 40mm blocks and I am now in the process of fitting new front suspension bushes, balljoints, shocks and the rest of body lift.
I still have some panel work to do then paint.
Next on list is to wind up torsion bars (may need to replace them as they seem a bit soft), fit h/d leaves in the rear with extended shackles, new bushes and shocks, fit tubular bumper and redesign towbar for better departure angle.
Im trying to spend as little money as possible so progress is pretty slow.
I am restoring a 68 VE Valiant which seems to be sucking up any spare cash i have.
I have a few questions about control arms etc so I'll try to post those in the right section.
Will try to post updated photos as I progress
