[doddzee]

Awsome!!

How are you planing on doing it? Straight back or bring the C piller up??
Talked to a certifier yet? There was one catch to doing a ute chop, sorry cant remember what it was but luckly i got it right

[De-Ranged]

Damm I love it no holds bar'ed mods ..... more

Cheers Reece

[safari_mulisha]

i used to do chassis and body chops for a job so im good friends with the certifier

bringing the c piller up
its so simple compared to sum of the stuff i have done
everything matches perfectly

[Ryan]

[DieselBoy]

This is the thread jack from hell, but if your up for it, lets take three half finished projects for a skid this weekend!!!!!

Bens is kinda mobile, mines sorta workin, yours'l be mobile, so lets go for a skid, it'l be ahhh...... different????


Back on topic, what you going to use for the little quarter windows?? Custom glass or perspex type shit??

[safari_mulisha]

lol interesting idea
i would be keen but i dunno if i will be mobile
my truck goes and everything but its winch isnt totally hooked up
i still need a rear wall i can do the base tomorow and re mount the fuel tank
my chassis has been shortened now so it wont fit back itno the original position

i will try my best but no promisses

[Aaron]

Nice work :thumleft:

and fast too, good stuff

[safari_mulisha]

got the rear lower wall on today
fully welded the chassis brace where i shortened the chassis
hurt my leg even more
my grinder wore out finally so i went and got a bigger one haha
getting my primer tonight to paint what i have done

[Sadam_Husain]

MUahahhaha....would be funny to do, probly all end up blowing something to bits !....

[safari_mulisha]

dont worry ben there will be a nissan there im used to towing toyotas and suzukis home
i towed a suzuki with drive to only one rear wheel half way thru the katikati side of thomos

i will go perspex i want the little windows i dunno how good it will look tho

im looking for a ute canopy to steal a window out of for the back then i can open it up and bark orders to my winch bitches

if its perspex when i do my cage i can run it thru the window so wont have to cut any panel

the paints a weird colour its like a silver,grey,black,blue

the rear wall is really solid actually

funny thing is i have only ever seen one safari,patrol ute in person ever

[PR]

that looks cool I want to do it to my safaris now

[safari_mulisha]

im abit unsure about that little window
it would create a huge blindspot if i panel over it
but i think it looks allright
can you get a rubber molding to hold the perspex windows in
like the stuff that holds van windows in

i found the little trick too dodzee
tricky little 15mm

[safari_mulisha]

thats all i got done today it kept raining

[timotheus]

I'd try and keep the little window, avoid the blindspot.

Im amazed at the speed your doing this at.
Tim.

[safari_mulisha]

its pretty easy aye

cut here,weld,slidehammer, porter power,hammer and more weld

i got some black perspex in my shed i might make the side windows and make it removable

so it looks really dark tinted

[shortylux]

Yeah Big ups on the progress. My trucks indoors and i still got less done than you. (did run outa mig gas though). I guess your at the fun part of the fab work, where its clear what you have to do so you just grind weld hammer and grind some more. None of the gay "how the fark am I going to make that work" type thinking shit. Ah well, back to the thinking.

Arron.

[wopass]

lookin good dude

[safari_mulisha]

those corners have got me a lil worried i a made up the pair out off sheet metal last night
that etch primer must be pourus as because it rusts thru it so i gotta take most of it off again

the back c piller on a safari is 15mm narrower than the b piller
i got a hydrolic ram and pushed them out
gotta source a new diesel tank today and do sum bogging
prob take her out next week end i slept in yesterday when i was meant to go up thomos
