[BryGgi]

this weekend in the shop was succes, front axxle got now tightened lsd and back got even more tightened lsd. poormanlockkers

 

[cicak]

wow cool rebuild. The chassis rot caused by the salt no doubt??

Over here thats the end of the vehicle once you chop or weld the chassis.

 

[BryGgi]

made some rock sliders, and throwed the external rollgage in dumpster. i have on my mind more stealth style pipin on A-pilar to C-pilar, and real rollgage inside the car.

Merc engine is getting machined now. 5 week left on holidays, then i can start the rebuild of chassy and frame number 2.

Lovely work BryGgi. is the car road legal? and why did you decide to dump the cage? you bumper is niice

 

[BryGgi]

car is road legal, and everything what ive changed, reads on this cars papers.
Rollgage was too weak. and poorly bended.

 

[crushers]

that is pretty impressive for 2.5 months...
congrats

 

[BryGgi]

Here we go, front is disassembled, and interrior is taken off.

Future plans, 25cm off back off the car, front about 10cm, mechanical winch front, electric in back where the original fueltanks are

 

[BryGgi]

Now its easier to go work on trunks floor, and back fenders.

[kallehzj78]

Cool, Shorty gets a new meaning...

 

[BryGgi]

Wait when i start working on front. this week i get the engine back home. and i start assembly of he engine when my summerholidays start. only 3 weeks to go there. Im buildin flipping front so the future engine repairs are going to be easier. i hope the OM605 is more reliable than the toyota 2L


now there are space in back


new batteries displacement


800mm long and 1000mm wide trunk, i get 220mm more longer trunk because the batterycabins top is same level that trunk

 

[BryGgi]

Better rear shock attachment, and lighter too, more pipe coming between both bars.

Hi brigri,
Nice mods... One question, you spend a lot of time on exhaust manifold , why do you let the engine bread trough a straw? The turbo is made vor building pressure and not for sucking air trough a straw... So next bigger snorkel?
