Oh OK then... 4.3 owners sign in here :)

Mine... '93 Monza (aka fire engine) Red... grey half leather, OZ split rims, dash replaced with stainless steel. Mother of all 4.3 engines going (back) in this week, hoping to fetch the bored outh AFM in the classifieds and some nifty induction stuff as it'll need a remap anyway. Will get a complement of poly bushes, Steve Heath rear ARB droplinks and Ferodo DS2500 pads all round with the engine reinstall job as these items needed to be replaced for its APK (Dutch MOT) anyway after I (finally!) register it here...
So let's hear it...
