Nice work. That’s a lot of measuring, trimming, re-measuring....

Thanks. It is indeed a lot of work to fit it right

Great work. Definitely interested in more pics of the roof swap if available. I have one of these I may be tackling in the near future.

In next few posts I will update on what has been done over last few weeks.

Here are few pictures from engine block and cylinder head cleaning..

Little progress with Tank's body as well, but still long way to go..

Did take chassis apart and sandblasted it. As you can see one part was shabby, but will be fixed over next few weeks.

Transmission turned out to be in a good condition and is just getting cleaned up and seal was replaced.

 

[pelss]

Axles and suspension parts were sandblasted and will get a coat of primer some time soon.

to be continued..

..more photos.

..and one last thing with this update.

I have purchased OME suspension kit (light in front/medium in the back). Can't wait to actually try it out

Will try to update this thread more often so I do not have to post so many photos at once. Now time for few beers

Sorry, took me sooooo long to get back here.

Engine update 1 (split into few posts just to be able post more photos). Lot of sandblasting and painting.. Spent a lot of time ordering parts as well.. They should arrive soon and then engine assembly process will commence.

Body update 1 - not much to write about body works - clean, weld, grind, repeat..

Body update #2 - rear arch and back panel welded in on passengers side, roof getting fixed, all metal parts being striped off to bare metal..
