just had a reply from a guy, so i've got some turbo prepped dells, header and turbo pipowrk, turbo turbo cam, wastegate and intercooler to get sometime 
i'm in the process of sorting whats needed for a bus box conversion, as it appears that would be stronger than a rancho.
and also getting a new case, bigger oil cooler and MSD ignition setup from the states - big dilemma their delivery $230 3-5 days or save myself $110 and go for 4 week delivery / this would pay for the oil cooler?

Dead Dog said:what are the dimensions of the menace
Will have to find out for you, its down near Brighton (still) and im banned from driving so cant get down there....I think (actually I hope!!) its fits into a normal single size garage....
As for shipping, go for surface, Ive heard there is more chance of not getting hit with Tax when it lands and it pays for your oil cooler
latest work done is replacing all the ball joints up front, wasn't too bad a job really, and putting the discs on.
trying to make my mind up re:gearbox at the mo, i want to keep it simple, but a bus box conversion is looking the best way forward.
no point in buying a rancho then it break
