Builds My BJ R 60 !! resurrected, almost (1 Viewer)

[animaldevictor]

Why thank you very much !! But this came out of a HJ60 that is 24volts, and i can tell it is OEM by the connecters, and it is installed in the fender. I am thinking some sort of voltage reducer for the radio maybe ??

ahhh !!! 24v changes everything, you may be right. if you need, I have the schematic from the bj 60 12 volts.

cheers

OK, so with the low snow conditions this winter i'm finding time to work on my rig again. First the quarter panel was a bit to bent to make look decent so i decided to take one of a donor i had in stock……

Here we go,

To finish i had to trade a little blue welder for a red !!

After a few step forwards and ALOT back, (frickn' bipolar ) Had almost all the bondo finished, 4 weeks of it mind you i took a grinder to it !! Two hrs later…….

And yes the last pic is the AFTER pic !!!!

I was very miserable when i was mudding everything thinking to myself " wtf r u doing " to much stuff and WORK to boot to play in the trees,then while my Moosehead (miller ) time i came across a paint scheme that fixed a my remaining issues, from bond to paint !!
so all i need is flat panels just to conceal the welds a bit, so now the finish is a lot less filler to move or crack. The paint was going to nice and shinny from the start. NOT anymore…..

Primer Time !!

Got the doors and fenders left to epoxy, the gonna hit it a few GOOD coats of Polyester primer filler and KaBang paint time !!!!

Nice work Pete,

Double u-bend a piece of 1/4" rod and attach to your drill. It'll break and smooth it pretty quick.
