Looks nice Marty/Sig, almost looks like a rat-rod with those pipes.

So this is what you did to the other tub???? :wink:

Classic use of front guards facing backwards over the rear tires.

Agree that those rims dont suit the wagon.

Where do you find these things Nibs?


PS. Love the suicide door set up!!!

well guys it lives and breaths .had another bit of a splurge on it today and fired it up.
Sig

wired fuel pump up, did a quick rewire on it, plumbed up fuel lines and primed fuel rail, shifted cab back onto mounts and hooked up ignition feed, kicked it in the guts a couple of times and nothing happened, checked spark and all ok, kicked it in the guts a couple more times and got it fireing, kicked it in the guts once more and it started, ran a bit rough so shut it down and had a bit of a head scratch and kicked it in the guts once ome and it lit up :D :D :D :D shit not bad for an engine thats probably been sitting for around 4 years, runs good, real quiet not rattles or knocks so it sounds like its probably low kms :D
