danger Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 Might recognise this as Mutiny's before he got his 808... Must have bought this off him over 6 months ago, finally went and picked it up in the weekend. Looked fucking rat with all the lichen and moss and grime all over it, bit sad to see it go but after a good waterblast its come up way more solid than I was expecting, Theres actually very very little that isn't just surface rust. Gonna get it sandblasted back and then after I've etched and sealed it I'll get to work on the chassis. Plans are: Chassis: 4Linked rear end on adustable coilovers with a watts link shortened Hilux LSD S5 brakes on the rear and possibly the front (or VN commodore) Strenghtened chassis and cage 13bt front mounted Body: Respray in 2tone (probably 2 greys) Chrome hubcaps on front with whitewalls Bigass 15x10's or similar on rear with street legal rubber This is gonna be a long term project, no doubt about it, dont expect updates too speedily.

danger Posted February 14, 2007 Author Share Posted February 14, 2007 Quick update: Welldeck is off now, motor/box is out and heaps of other things have been removed. Chassis tidied up and I'm investigating getting my new rear chassis built. Got my 15x10 modgies with 295's coming down some time. Put new floor in and have started stripping parts back. remove front guards,lights,valance etc, guards are as mint as can be. Managed to remove the bonnet skin from its subframe to get that all mint, Am thinking I'll have to reinforce the nose to deal with speed. bonnet skin is 1mm steel, subframe is .8mm. Mazda werent too keen on overengineering. Got a Proper 1200 ute wellside with tailights etc coming as well as a bonnet badge. Found a cheap as S5 13bt which would fit the bill pretty well. Been a bit lazy cause I've been sleeping/ doing sounds in my 929 but am hoping to get cutting again next few days. Found a dead mouse in the A- pillar too...
