D21 Navara SAS with falcon rear leaves

[niblik]

very nice mods there jezza.. nice battery box placement.. get some weight rearwards..

little driveshaft hoop back on there too.. sweet.. and as for the triclove exhaust clamps.. minter.. ya found the right sized 'brass' ok?

[kbjj]

I'm still looking for some 4mm brass rod bout 200mm long. I'll check out a welding supply outfit for some thick bronzing wire. Plenty of time.
Hey does any know the wrecker out Leeston way. I saw his add in the buy-sell-exchange, but he wont answer his phone. I've left two messages on his answer phone. Oh well

Some new engine mounts to stop it moving about so much. Not much difference than solid mounting me thinks. I'll see how it feels...one day. I may go to rubber bushes

Nice work fella. Any luck finding a cab?

[kbjj]

Still looking. Waiting for a cheap one

[IcedJohnno]

Don't know of prices but I think Jamie has got a double cab. Nissan wrecker in the Goon. Edwards St. One of my workshops is right next door and I noticed it the other night.

Was it a green one with a forklift damaged roof? He wanted $700 for the bare shell with only two bare doors

[IcedJohnno]

Dunno but I'll have a look tomorrow.

[kbjj]

Anyone in Invercargal able to visually check out a D21 Navara for rust/condition for me? I can get details

Ha Ha, last two questions are from him. With this many eyes looking out, bound to get some double ups.

Just an idea but theres room on the other side of the fuel tank for a fresh water tank or something....

[niblik]

he already has a freshwater tank at the rear of the truck that fills through the wheel well of the passengers side.. has a pump to the inner cab for drinkin or washing grit from the top of beer cans..

Cheers all for the leads on body's, I am chasing these up.

[Nivapulledout]

You poor bugger, that was such a nice looking wagon as well.

the picks of it riding the bank before the rollover it looked mean.

Hope you find a new body soon and get up and running again.

[TheDarkSide]

Got a cab, more rust than I thought , couldn't really tell until it was stripped, presently cutting it out.






Delipped and sill shortened to suit my trimmed guard


Notches to clear front bars when fitting


I'm sure I've done some of this before

[juz]

Awesome! ready in two weeks?

LOL, was just about to post the same. Godley trip for the cabs maiden voyage???

[kbjj]

While hunting for a cab, I brought this for the better half as I prefer to sleep on the cold, hard, uneven, damp ground , ...yeah right.


Was tempted to fit these, but door got in the way...


...so did this instead


Made and fitted this multi extreme angle tow hitch thingy

I thought I could, until I came across the rust. Its taken me two weeks to do this

[juz]

Sorry to go off topic, but how'd you end up lifting the caravan jeremy? All angle hitch thingy looking good. Godley be a nice wee test for it.

All good, it used to have Mini wheels with a duratorque axel, fitted leaf springs, new axel (with drop plates fitted upside down than usual), and larger wheels. I wanted to take it to Godley, oh well, next time

[juz]

Cool, and with those wheels you wouldnt have to modify the wheel wells aye? shit hot. Be a good wee camper.

[kbjj]

I had to make wheel wells wider, but also made them lower (not so deep) to give me more room on the inside, allowing the cooktop/sink to fold down lower, which then enabled it to swing up higher to a more user friendly height. hope that makes sense

Gutted man. Could have been worse though! Are you still going to come in someone elses wagon?

Camper looks boss. Used to take one of those up to Hamner behind the old mans P6B back in the day.
