Started strippin it tonight,got the rear bumper and fuel tank out so i can weld the rear spring platforms back in to the chassis and diff,it was runnin fox coil overs in the rear i will keep the lower mount on the diff and the turrets on the chassis for when i can afford coil overs,till then i will stick with coil springs and the twin shocks in all four corners that it came with

The rear



The front

I've probably got a motor and box kicking around if you need one!!!!

It would only have half the cylinders of the standard pajero motor and it would be two stroke, but would make up for it in koolies

Skidz OWWWWWWWWWWWWN

we could weld two together in a V and make a 1000cc V6 2 stroke with 6 expansion chambers and 6 RGV250 carbs

Taupo 1000? 43 days away.

Yea i would love to do it,but i dont think she will be finished in time,not to mention the price on entry fee and the fuel
never mind bring it on in 2013

[mudslut]

Big day today on the truck,spent a couple of hours down at bryant rd dismantlers in the donor paj removing a wiring loom from the engine bay and behind the dash this is what i ended up with



While its lay out was still fresh in my mind i fitted it straight away
i will get the auto sparky i use to go through the under dash part of the loom on monday to see what we can get rid of





Then removed the flimsy bent and streched alli rear panel and made a new one out of panel steel

[DieselBoy]

I love it!!!!!

Good to see other people suffer from "MUST GET IT DONE" sydrome

So 1st start up is next Sunday evening??

What donk have you got planned to throw into this mean Paj? Rover V8, 3.5 Mitsi? Big arse Cummins Diesel Just as long as it pulls like a 13 year old schoolboy aye

Keepin it simple to start with i will run a 3.0 V6 pajero engine and box,and get out there and do some racing.Class 2 pro trucks are limited as far as engines go,they have to be from the same manufacture,so for the future i could go down the 3.5 or 3.8 track

[LOLYF]

Can you stick an EVO in it ? (does class 2 allow that?) Way more power potential than a mitsi v6 and lighter.

And by that i mean an lancer EVO not Pajero EVO

From what i have read no i dont think i can,would of been mean though

get a starion bottom end and build that up to evo spec with dohc head and all that? I would've thought that all pajero stuff was deemed as 'wideblock' and most evos are 'narrowblock' (the difference is only two bellhousing studs and their distance from each other or something?
alterntatively, chuck a datsun 720 transfer case behind a sigma gearbox which will bolt to most evo engines. they handle 400hp easily.

or turbo 6g72? the options are endless.

this kinda thing is so cool. hoping you do a sweet long travel suspension getup for it.

The rule on engines for the class said the engine must have come out in the vehicle or be from a updated model and no turbos or superchargers unless the engine was manufactured with one
As for the suspension the turrets are there for the big coilovers,but it wont get them till money allows,just wana go and have fun for now

Got the motor and gearbox for the truck this week



Today i got the spring platforms welded on to the chassis and diff





Then i fitted the fuel sender in the tank for the aftermarket fuel gauge

[mudslut]

Update time,motor and gearbox are in,clutch is all bleed up,i forgot to get pics of clutch before i fitted it,im runnin a 6 puck brass button clutch plate with a mazda RX8 H/D preasure plate.While i was playin with brake fluid and had the asshole of a one man bleeder out ithought i might as well do the brakes at the same time,great fun me and the workshop floor wore more brake fluid than the clutch or brake system



Got the internal wiring tidyed up



Fitted new steering wheel and started on the gauges





Back in to it tomorrow

[mudslut]

Update time
Wednesday night i painted the roof



Today i painted the rest of it.Masked up


Silver sprayed



Mask out the silver that will be kept




Then applyed the red,then removed the paper covering the silver and then applyed the clearcoat,baked it then wala
