1992 SFA Hilux Restoration

Post by Daffy99 »

Happy New Year everybody!!

I'm in the process of taking over my father's SFA double cab hilux.

We would like to restore the old girl, fix few dents and scratches, interior needs a bit of work and maybe a new layer of paint.

Was thinking of putting in a new engine, she has the 2.2 petrol, thinks its the 4Y engine. I don't want to put in a Lexus V8, was thinking of a 3.0L D4D. Has anyone done this swap before? What other engine options have guys used?

I'm based in Fourways, Johannesburg
Who are the expert guys to send the bakkie to get work done from restoring, finding parts, painting and possible new engine? Looking for top quality workmanship.

Not sure if he is still around or not, but people used to mention that Ralph in Krugersdorp area was the person to see. I think his company may have been called Toyo, do a search on the forum, might be worth your while.
