I can get the same (2400x1200x1) for $33 :jamie:

ok so dry ice is awesome! well worth it makes things very easy!

 

piccies.

 

 

 

 

Here's is random shot of the beast.

 

 

cheers

more work done.

 

seam welded seat rails.

 

 

 

here is another one of my awesome ideas that is gonna make this build take even longer.

 

 

 

basically these vents allow alot of water in when raining. there isn't really adequate draining here. so water sits in there

and rust from inside out. Big NO NO so i'm shaving them.

 

i'm aware that this provides air to the cabin but... i have a few ideas on how to route air to the cabin a different way.

and finally... making a larger opening for a larger radiator.

 

this top section i'm going to make bolt on so its easy to remove if needed.

 

 

original hole.

 

440mm i think i can't remember but around that.

 

 

enlarged to 580mm to fit a sprinter sized radiator. also the hole is a lot more centralised.

 

 

and capped.

 

don't worry i wire brushed the inside.. only the outside is rusty and the car is going to my work for sandblast in approx 3 weeks anyways.

 

 

 

cheers.

ok a little bit of work done.

got a ae71 guard and cut the arch out.

 

 

here is the test fit. its going to look much better this way!

You did it! Looks great!

Who's is the sexy KE11 in the background of one of the pics??

 

Nice work fellas that looks quite hot!!!

 

I'll be down there Friday night Ryan :wink:

I dunno, some knob jockey owns a overrated KE11 sitting in the shed. Could be the one your thinking of? :)

 

It's funny, I finished welding em. Lifted the helmet up, stood back and creamed my jeans hahaha.

awesome! much, much better. nice work!

cheers mate.!

its a lot ore work i've created but waaayyyy happier with this result.~

updato? or your spending time on the daily?

ok so todays project..

 

possibly the quickest paint job in history. started work at approx 1:30 and finished everything at around 6pm

 

so car came looking kinda like this..

 

then sanded masked dismantled and put in primer.

 

the basecoat.

 

then clear coat! looks pretty good. my mate didn't care one bit about the car jst wanted it to look better so its dodgy but got good quality paints on it.

 

a red pearl was put through this and in person it looks really really good.! defiantely stands out. the colour is called shanghai red.

 

all up cost less than $500.

Looks sick dude, best $500 paint job ive seen, love the colour.
