CUL8R Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 Coming along nicely Chris Am still looking for decent wof standard tyres for you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusted Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 YES!! Been wanting to know about the 720 chassis convertion works. Good work, bloody SI datto lads are champs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris.QCR Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 I aint measured the difference. But the wider tires that were on the 720 chassis fit well into the guards of the 521. So far its been a surprisingly easy conversion. Id reccomend it to anyone with a 620 or 521. So Simple to get better brakes/suspension and engine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seedy Al Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 heres an odd question then, if you had a 720, and it was reg on hold, and you had a dereg 521, did the swap, then what part is legal??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris.QCR Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Hmm thats a good one. My 521 is legal and the 720 wasnt. All the chassis tags are mounted on the body so its easy. However im thinkin of gettn the chasiss tag remade by a guy up north and get the Z engine number on the tag instead of the J13. Im also unsure about cert coz i aint modified the chassis at all . legally tricky but fabrication wise sooo easy. Hasnt been the best weather this week in chch and im havin a Mexican party so sorting things out for that today otherwise id be ready to drive by end of weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll give you a hand shandy and 2 (maybe stretch to 3) dutch rudders for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris.QCR Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Its gonna sound just a little gay here kaykay but when i brought that from a garage sale that woke me on a saturday morning across the road from me and i stumbled across to check it out and bam i found me this sweet original genuine Esky!!!for $5!! Its got the picture with a eskimo on both sides and ESKY in big black letters on the lid. I immediately thought this would look good on your slamilar. Ive fallen in love with it and will have to regretfully decline your amazing sexual offers/advances. This is the style im leading towards however. Obviously not all year round. Just car events and the like. But like your self with the trailer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
