Anyway.
The rough old Bruce Highway punched a shocky through the boot when the steel split.
Welded it up without worrying about the fuel tank being nearby.

remember the HiJackers well, used to use those shocks having fitted such large wide tyres on the rear to help avoid the gaurds chewing out the outside egde of the tyres lol......
SAAS small steering wheels, always another mod.
