1JZ powered Rover P6B

Description
Here we have an unfinished project. A 1973 Rover 3500 that has been fitted with a Toyota 1JZ straight six and 4 spd auto. Body is quite tidy, no major rust that I can see but paint is pretty flat. Interior has buckskin beige box pleated leather and it's pretty good too. Needs a decent clean. Car has rare factory tinted glass. The 1JZ motor and trans came from a crashed '94 Chaser and was running well when removed. The sump was swapped for a Soarer type, AC compressor removed and motor dropped into place. Custom engine mounts were tacked together (will need final welding) and a new trans crossmember made. A new custom drive shaft was made. Throttle and trans linkages were made and a new HP hose for the power steering was made. An electric fan was fitted. That's as far as I got. Still need to make the front half of the exhaust, sort out a fuel pump and do the wiring. There is a modern fuse box included to replace the fragile Rover one. No cert yet but everything fits without any mods to the car and the motor was chosen because it has very similar power, torque and weight to the original V8 but ought to be a lot more reliable and economical. Or, you could 2JZ turbo it for some real fun! Has been sitting a long time though so brakes will need a full overhaul. Rego on hold. See my other listings for more special stuff.
