This weekend
WEll I got bored with Green and upgraded the headlights the wiring loom we fitted about 8 months ago did not work so I decided to replace the reflectors and the bulbs and upgraded them to 100watts.
WHat a transformation now I have lights.
NExt was to finish fitting the new alloy door panels as the old ones were falling off.
THe pics are green just before I fitted the right side front panels I finished fitting them this afternoon over a few beers and fitted new 6" speakers in the rear also. UNfortunately I made a little mistake and put two screws in not in line with the rest
The bamboo plant being transported and yes I need to fit the rear latch again.
The panels are 1mm alloy sheet and then hand sanded in a swirl pattern and then insulation sponge glued to the rear for a little sound proofing. I should have used 1.5 or 2mm.
I only have to buy two new front seats and then recover them all in green canvas to match the paint job.
Only front and rear difflocks and front and rear mini bars to go and its complete.
New project coming just wait maybe wed/thursday I will post pics.
RED is hopefully back on the road after being BANNED for 4 months and 2 weeks after being reported to road transport by my nice neighbour.
YELLOW is hopefully on the road this week its been of the road since the RFC while we change the rego from company to PRIVATE. Its had DIFFLOCKS front and REAR and the ROLL Cage added so I cannot wait to take it out for a jungle run.
If you like build you might like or hatre this one.
A little Kia ROCSTAR (mini JEEP sorry HEEP) they took out the 1.8 liter 4 cyl donk and put in a PAJERO 3.0 v6 and PAjero Rear Axle and LC II front axle and GOD winch.
Then the owner got bored and decided yes NISSAN 4.5liter V8 and gearbox and wait for it NOW VOLVO Portal AXLES . Bets are on as to what breaks first - chassis or gerabox or an axle.
Now after the engine has been fitted waiting for the Portal AXLEs.
As you can telll im not saying whether I think its good or bad project. However putting the RADIATOR on the rear outside above the spare tire might give you a hint of my feeling on it.
