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!

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!

I live in ohakune and was up there today, colin said there only guna scrap the later model front wheel drive stuff, they want to hang onto the older rear wheel stuff if they can. good stuff i say. Is getting sold for money to build the museum there they have had planned for a while. also yes cheap is not a word used out there often (but then i have had a couple of good deals) and slidenyo good luck with good b1600 gaurds out there, ive been through them all for parts for mine and there is fuk all of anything worth getting

you should put a nissan v8 with a huge blower into the tubbed navara (but those 4wd drive types with the rear canopy), make it as low as possible, mini truck style, and roof chop it. that would look phat, low and pull the hell skids.
