This was a big job, take everything from a rusty WB statesman including engine, trans, diff, power steering and all the braking system including booster and pedal and fit it all into the HQ that’s after removing all of its 6 cylinder running gear first. Before fitting I had to strip the engine and repaint in correct colour for the era, we also had to remake brake lines as the WB had metric fittings, convert from manual to auto and a million other little things as we went.
Must say the final result was worth it and looks so much better and with a bit more added power now
