Scimitar, mine was a ex Ambo, but a few body mod's and you can't tell, took a lot of sweet and tears, tears because the wife would not let me spent all day and night working on it. :D

I like that, you'll have full head room now lol
I have a project boat too so sadly the Ambo will be staying in it's existing format for the time being, no wife so thats a bonus ha ha
You still running the 202 and auto?
Mine runs well but me thinks the auto, specifically the O/D needs attention sometime when on the open road the O/D can't decide wether to engage or not and hunts. Seems ok once warm etc...

Runs fully work 202, 3 speed overdrive Trimatic, 3.5 diff, disconnect the auto overdive and hook it up to a switch, you will hit 80 km hit the switch and problem fixed. A relay is needed inline for this, might pay to get the pro's to do this.

Sweet
yea thought that would be the shiz, I'll work on it some time but not a priority at mo...
The ol bests pretty much is as it was when in serivice so not sure what state of tune it's in etc, as long as she gets wof's and I can pack an camp when I want alls good for now.
once I have the boat up and running I can then focus on getting it sorted to tow for some lake side holidays lol
Cheers

Hey Eddy, you still have the Beddie as a tow wagon, a large roof rack and all the toys can sit up on top, as for the boat you might have to go for a blow up one. ;D
