well if you sell your nissan for $1 you will only have to save $99

[kbjj]

Are we talking building trucks or property.
I see you've finally picked up the grinder and used it. Tis very time consuming aye. Imagine making all the custom bits for a custom setup.

Exhaust chopped out of the way.
kzn185 transfer case removed and there is a bit of engineering required to fit the 130 one

house built by mid nov ??????? consent due this week for mine and finsh jan or feb it's only 3 bedroom but another garage

[vvilly]

so a we bit more has been done with all the under carriage removed and shaved clean (front and rear) front diff is sitting in place with the panhard mount welded on to the chassis. the steering box is in place and now drilled and fitted properly.

The rear 90 series diff was put in place on factory mounts but now all the factory mounts have been removed and have decided to put coil overs in as well so a bit more work on the arse end to do this

rick and i were there the other night till 1230 working out the shocks and travel and have decided to go with 10 inch fox's in the front instead of 12.

the front bar/ winch is fitted and looks pretty good, i spent 4 hours on the rear swing arm the other day and am happy with the result.

just waiting on parts really. there a few people holding us up

[vvilly]

front bar

[vvilly]

front end

[vvilly]

rear diff sitting in place 2's has spent a day on it and removed petrol tank and all the link arm and shock mounts

[lincooln]

looks like it will be an awesome toy. Looking awesome

[petefj40]

I'll be one of those people.
There are other customers trucks in there too fella.

Looking good though Jase.
I dropped off the Jeep n buggy their today.
How's that 5k budget going on this project?

[vvilly]

I blew that out of the water before rick even had the truck lol

[tomsoffroad]

What happened to not getting carried away Jase?

[muddyhilux]

looking good mate and yeah,no way i see 5k covering all that at all keep at it though

[hosehustler]

Hi Jase, i know it's probably frustraing for you to see vehicles coming and going and yours being "left" to do when time permits, I'm feeling a touch guilty as one of those vehicles is my daily driver but that type of work is "bread and butter" which keeps the money coming in for Rick to pay everday costs of running a buisness like that, which ultimately should help keep down the price of your build. I'm nearly 4 weeks with having to beg and borrow for cars

Having checked out yours when i've been in..... i'm picking it's going to go extremely well, should be a well built beast with heaps of flex thats for sure it's looking mint so far:mrgreen:

[vvilly]

What happened to not getting carried away Jase?

Um yup lol do it once aye bro haha
