Ever wondered what a post-1978ish Florian ute would look like? No? In Malta? Still no? Whatever!

Weirdly, Malta are RHD despite the rest of Europe (except the UK) being LHD! What the?!?!?

I already have the Florian front end for my Luv.

but it may only go on for a short while and then back to original...

at least the Auto now has a working ring-gear and starts ok
:mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

but that was a fairly long day under the car. Found some previous peanut had fitted incorrect bolts to the tailshaft and they were burred and loose. Found a good, correct size set in the shed. Another potential problem fixed.

now there is just the sway bar bushes, carbi and kickdown setup and tuning to sort.

but she will be good for the B2B
