Update time,
Took the cab off, cleaned the whole chassis/engine/tranni/transfer, totally cleaned out chassis rails of all dirt and mud... they were absolutely chokkas!
Acid bathed everything, now ready for engine out, and chassis mods.

Man your really moving along
Who is doin the gearbox and t/case and how much?
Get a good clutch and put your driveshafts in for balancing
The flywheel should be ok with low klms.
I used one of those heavy duty Exedy clutch kits and it feels really good now.
It also got rid of some noises diesel gearboxes make,like a grinding/groaning noise as you accellerate away.
Does your chassis have a spot for a spare tyre?

havnt got quotes on the boxes as yet,
New drive shafts are going to be made later on with double cardinan joints so i wont bother with the drive shafts.
LOL flywheel still has its machining marks so you can almost count the amount of revolutions its done, clutch is new, but you rekon i might go HD? Might be money i dont need to spend..
Pfft noises... just turn sound system up lol!

Update:
As i said, the drive train is out, i also took the cab home to strip and clean totally. (long process). Im fixing or replacing all the interior dash, roof lining,door trims. Then im getting them all painted mat black with that special fabric paint.
Then it all goes back in, engine bay painted, then outside painted later.
See the crane ute, another ute to add to the collection lol, not mine though

Is the clutch from the 105 series gearbox the same as the H55f gearbox?
Your lucky your boss doesnt mind you doing all that work on his premises.
Of course your doing it all in you own time
