Is the back of the cab/window cut off something else or completely custom built?

back back is cut of a rusty old single cab of the same model, took abit to get it to fit right, sides i made up so replace the plastic surf ones.

been awhile since i up dated this.

just finished the mr2/78 series disc set up on my last days off.

did anyone else have issues get the caliper to fit over the disc?

[Big]

in what way ? As im contemplating doing this..

[surf10]

the gap for the disc between the two pads was just a fraction small made it work tho

[surf10]

as it sits at moment. just waiting for motor to fall back in

What did you end up doing? to make them fit..

[surf10]

just used some worn pads. think my calipers might be slightly seized.

[surf10]

well thought i better do an update since i haven't been on here in a while.

projects taken a turn. powerplant has changed,
3rz and auto are out and now i have a rebuilt small block chev that started life as a 327ci. From what i was told by the engine builder the block is 40thou over size flat top pistons and mild cam.

Gbox is a TH350 and np203 out of chevy blazer happen to find a wreaked one around here. i rebuilt it with a b m rebuild kit including shift kit.

still got a few bits i need to get. if anyone out there has a floor mounted shifter they wanna sell me for a 3 speed auto i would be very keen.

Looking good mate.
How's progress?

[surf10]

made abit of progress. steering finished had to move box forward after doing rears up front. motor trans and transfer case are all in. transfer case was a bastard being so dam heavy.

next step is make gbox crossmember,

[surf10]

Been a while since i up dated progress been slow but there has been abit done.

Got motor and trans back in made cross member for gearbox, cleared all wiring out from engine bay,

still got a heap to do but the am now is to get some noise out of it.

ill post some pics when i down size them
