Getting there slowly Truck Update


getting there slowly but surely


Cleaned up the chassis rails and started cleaning the motor, made one of my seat subframes, and have started measuring out for my steering rack. Radiator is just rested in place so is not level at the mo.


Rack


This one came out a bit dark, but the prop and gearbox are about 1inch apart, so a solid spacer will do the trick.

Started to clean the inlet

Radiator at almost the correct height!!! just need to make some brackets to hold it

my leather seats, comfy as hell! from a citroen

a mate of mine is off making mounts for me at the mo, so hopefully should be able to get those fitted soon..................  on the face of it, there is not too much left to do, but it's bound to turn out to take longer than expected.
as always cash stops play on many occasions.


some of the jobs left
*Fit mounts which are being fabricated at the mo
*remove pas pump and relocate alternator to run off where the pas pump belt goes
*make a spacer to mate the prop/gearbox
*wire it in (this could take years, frigging ecu)
*fit the rad and plumb it in
*replace water Pump
*change rocker gaskets
*frame the front end to hang wings and bonnet
*make a transmission tunnel
*wire in lights etc
*order Digital dash and wire in
*make exhaust
*sort out handbrake


Productive Saturday :)
