zukute

Post by moonhopper »

I thought it was time to post up the build of the escudo Ute.
I started with a 91 Escudo G16a 16 Valve, Was origionally a 5 door wagon but the previous owner cut it down to a 2 door and put a exhaust tube roll cage. This is what it looked like when i went to get it from Hamilton

The fuel tank was held on by the wire wraped around the seat.
So i got it home and striped out the cage, dash that was haked up, and the seats. I replaced the door cards, dash and a few other bits, striped out the air con, viscous fan and anything that wasnt needed. Got the truck over to deranged and started to work on it. Firstly bracing the flimsy cab up again. Reece gave it a 2" body lift as well as the 2" spring lift.

then we stared on the cage, rear deck and the sliders
and this is what we have come up with so far

Still have the front bar work to do, and make the A frame
have to put in the welded rear diff head, put on the rear deck lights and it should be ready for it's first outing by the end of this month.

dont forget about the exhaust that you did, and the solid rear end that got put right :D

i think the way you over-engineered the spare wheel carrier needs a mention too :lol:

looking real good tony :D
Its better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than to open it and remove all doubt.
