heres some more pics for you all, not a whole lot more to do now but would like to get it going before rotary summerdrags so I can take it to at least one event before I head to canada for there ski season. gave it a paint as you can see but need to respray the roof and bonnet as it reacted with the black that was underneath. got to finish the tray but you can see the bulk of it is done. made a nice long shifter with an old file handle, looks quite good i think. also need to finish painting the back wheels. needs a fuel tank and I'm trying to find some old army jerry cans to weld some fittings in and use them, what do you think? thanks guys!

do agree on above idea....and side piped v8

had abit of fun at a mates washer shed pad on the weekend.

im not to sure if the bags will be certable, im hoping so and dont see why they wont be. will need to put bumpstops in it tho id imagine.

I just looked through a wheel nut catalogue and found the longest ones, was abit gutted tho as i had sum longer ones from a hilux but then couldnt find where to get more form as i only had 4.

so AWESOME! I wasnt a fan of the short wheelbase idea but now I see it i like it!!

thanks heaps guys! yeh i'm not really into the whole minitruckin thing either thats why this wont be psssh pssh up down left right blah. just slammed will do me! will be my tow truck in the future as i'm planning on a drift/track car next. this will have air tank for air tools and what not. will stay flat deck, i've used the original i had but i narrowed it and lowered in on the frame. will leave the sides on and will make wheels tubs out of the same timber as the deck. colour choice? i'm thinking 2 tone brown or red oxide or matt green or a matt colour with black top half... hard to make a choice!

hey, This is my other toy, ke30 powered by a 10a bridgeport, I have done every bit of work on this car and have had it for a while but is now now due for a rebuild and a repaint. thinkin of painting it white and the modgies powdercoated black. brotangs and modz may not be your guys style but let me know what you think. cheers!

discuss viewtopic.php?f=18&t=22938 hey guys, This is my B1600 that i've been working on for the past few months. I bought the ute off a guy who had a different idea about than i did haha, it had orange racing stripes down the bonnet and roof and the stripes you can see on the side, had a bright red grill and an exhaust stack up the back window. i layed some shitty black over the bonnet and and roof to try get rid of abit of the orange. I put the cab and engine onto a b1600 chassis i had for a little while that i started to c notch and had the idea of putting coilovers in it and making it as low as possible. ended up putting air bags into it as i got them for 400 for the lot new. i made up an adapter to fit tyre valves into the bag so will effectively work just like a spring and will not be adjustable, so will be low all the time just the way they should be! ute is still drum brakes all round so will upgrade those once i get it goin for abit and decide what engine should go into it. ute will be my daily once again when its done. guna paint rims black, finish tray in stained decking timber and give it a paint at sum stage in a flat colour hopefully. heres some pics before i pulled it apart. chur boes! edit* shit had to resize them as they were huge!
