Great Job!! Ahah, like the chicken…it reminds me my shooting instructor!!! It’s a home-made bumper?

Hi Gr8Yota, Thanks for your answer. Yes I watched it but they didn't measure the internal space (which is quite tricky to do by the way). Nice comparison though. except the space from the support plate to the ceiling, where the mattress is when closed. Don’t know how you can measure it though...

Hi Gr8Yota, Thanks for your answer. Yes I watched it but they didn't measure the internal space (which is quite tricky to do by the way). Nice comparison though.

Yes, better safe than sorry!! So you drilled the floor to bolt the ply floor, right?

Ok, thanks for that! Did you compare the height of both, from top of mattress to ceiling? It shouldn’t have a big difference, but how much can you store inside when closed? Good evening

Sarah, what make you choose the Alu-innovation to the All-cab or other? I need a bit of help on this .....

So great to follow your build, that's a piece of art. Just wondering, how do you fix the bottom ply wood (floor) to the car. Did you screw it through the body? Thanks :)

Right, I’ve to study a bit more. As far as I remember my mechanic recommended me the H151F….Transfer box of the 80 with 4x2 conversion to stay in part-time 4wd.

That’s reassuring, thx!!

Hi, GeekOKent, So do you order at this Website? You’ve never had any problem to get your parts? By the way, which gearbox would you recommend to install in a 78 with a 1HDT. As far as I know the standard gearbox won’t last long with this swap? What do you think?

Thanks GeekOKent! Interesting, didn’t know the 1hd was more common in UK than the 1hz! I’m in Switzerland (almost in Europe :-)), and you can find both but the 1hz is the most represented. Is there an easy way to find which part are common for both engines?

Hi, Actually thinking about swapping a 1Hz for 1 HD-T engine in a 78 which I should own in a close future, but I’m worried about the availability of parts in the future, compares to the 1Hz which is still manufactured. What’s your thoughts about this? Would it be more wise to keep the 1hz?

Thanks to share it!

Ok! Thanks a lot to share your experience on this forum! That’s really appreciated!

By the way, do you have an instagram or Facebook account where I can follow your build and adventures? Cheers
