Project "Jew"

Post by Filthy4x4 »

Well I suppose I should do a bit of a build thread for myself to keep track on what i've done and so you guys have some more pics of whats going on...

It all started off with a drive to tauranga to pic up "The Jew".

Got it for a song (was sung pretty badly too :P )

It has been named "The Jew" as its going to be a zuk on a budget build, im going to try do as much as I can to it/2nd hand mods etc

Specs are as follows:

'90 Suzuki Escudo
16v Efi 1600 motor
3" Body lift
Snorkel
9500lb winch
Hilux diffs
Vr commie rear shocks
Mitsi sigma front shocks
Relocated battery
Bucket seats
Front and rear tow hooks (with interchangable rear hitch)
Raised fuel tank


Anyway its a well and truly bastardized truck BUT I saw past that fact and I think it has some potential hiddin not too far under the surface.

Im already not happy with how the front flexes (or doesn't) so am looking into some new options and I think I may have an idea that works.

So far I have made an A frame for it (got paid to make it too :twisted: , gotta love quiet weeks at work).

I'm currently saving up for some mud tyres for it.

Will update as much as possible when I do work on it (will try to even do it with pics :mrgreen: )

Wish me luck :lol:

Cheers

Caleb

Right time for a small update and some questions...

Ive bought a pair of wrx bucket seats, a set of rims with wrecked 33s on them (good for testing purposes), also bought some "c33" rear springs to try help with keeping rear springs captive.

Im trying to find some springs/ shocks for the front...

Im thinking VL commie rear springs but I am stumped on what shocks to use with them that will offer more articulation... any ideas?

Need to find something asap so I can put them in in the next week or so.
