Gus 5 Report post Posted July 27, 2008 after a blown HG on the boat anchor of an M40, I decided I wanted an M42 - sacked - something heavy in there? - full M42 + box conversion, engine crane, various bits n pieces in the back of the touring did most of it by myself so no pics, fast foward a week after waiting for bits and a few all dayers on the weekend and a quick clean - tossing between new seats or seat covers..prob neither for the time being! mtech 2 wheel is an addition by me her name is Loveby due to the plate, the M42 leaks a bit of oil and a sway bar link causes some knocking but otherwise she ain't in bad shape...looking forward to some epic road trips and a blat around the ring and this is why my neighbours hate me and think I am an a**hole - this is their car park and it's 10x better than when I had both engines and boxes out!

QuickSilver 0 Report post Posted July 28, 2008 (edited) Looks awesome. Does it go much better than the m40? Edited July 28, 2008 by QuickSilver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gus 5 Report post Posted July 28, 2008 got the engine, borrowed the hoist off guys on the zone..they are ok, not really that friendly though (have met a few whilst buying bits) i dont even own a hammer here! was sorely tempted at many stages but managed to find other tools to do the job m42 goes much better than the m40...almost feels like driving a real car...almost..
