True its a straight swap, but still petrol,

ive decided to chop up a spare toyota hilux me and my mate has, im going to fit either a 1.7td or 1.9td engine along with a suitable gearbox and transfer box, then put the hilux axles under it, will take some time, but ill get there in the end.

Fair Doo's I like the idea of a Diesel Jimny, but not having the fabrication skills... I doubt its gonna happen.

im rubbish at fabrications, but im fantastic with a measuring tape, pencil and paper lol

ive got a mate who works in a metal merchants, i get my metal super cheap from him and he cuts it to the size i need, its then just a case of me welding bits together and fitting them.

What size liana fits straight in if you dont mind me asking. This may be something worth considering in the future altho I would prefer to convert to diesel. What fuel rail do you need to put on the liana engine?
