Re: Project PAJ (Kermit)

So today was WoF day. As with these older offroad trucks, I wasn't expecting a flying pass...Close, but no cigar. Just some minor things that are related to age and some good old offroad action. Have ordered all the parts and will throw them in for the WoF man...including a new clutch slave cylinder...

Re: Project PAJ (Kermit)

Another job ticked off before I get a new WoF.
Front left wheel bearing a little bit of play. So a rebuild was in order anyway.

Re: Project PAJ (Kermit)

Right, so a couple of things ticked off today. The starter motor...bought a brand new one probably 9 months ago and so finally put it in. Originally you would have to hold the clutch in for the starter to properly engage the ring gear. But now it's immediate engagement, more power and even quieter. ...

Re: Project PAJ (Kermit)

So thought I would have a go at selling this 90"s classic truck. Wow! What an experience. There are some interesting people with interesting perspectives. Some people thought they would be using it as their daily mall crawler. Yes you can, but don't expect it to drive like a race car or handle ...

OK, here it is...... Cut out any rust and welded new plate in. Went with 2K white on the inside doors, boot, bonnet, etc with a matching and much cleaner Raptor coating to replace the green.

Ideas, ideas.... **FRP** I'm exploring the feasibility of some design ideas for the 70 and wondered if anyone knew how integral the FRP top is to the structure of the vehicle. I'm assuming because it's removable, you can actual drive around with no FRP top here in NZ....legally? If so, my next stage...

Re: Project PAJ (Kermit)

So the body restoration begins, here is the bones and the bad bits. Only rust I've found is one spot in the boot and passenger door window frame.

Stripped it all back and gave the entire thing a good scrub.

Re: 1HDT AC Crankshaft pulley

Cheers, yeah that's what I did in the end. Can never guarantee the condition of second hand parts that wear.

Purchased from http://www.allfourx4.com.au/ which seemed to have the best pricing and good support to find the right match. There are a couple of different variants out there.

Re: Project PAJ (Kermit)

Last couple of days have been designing and building the rear barwork. Added a dedicated hitch receiver (seperate to the barwork) and got the bones of the work done.

Just need to make up the sides and weld it all up.

To complete the conversion, what sort of effort are we looking at?

Re: Project PAJ (Kermit)

Have also decided on a new colour scheme as the green is an eyesore.

Will model it after the EVO version as I've got plenty of 2k white from restoring the daughter's Mitsi and red from when I did the 80.
