Howdy all.
After alot of frustration and no action, my Hilux I was building has been sitting in storage for the last year or so and I haven't
had the motivation, money, time or shed to build it in.
So I'm going to throw it out there to see if there is any interest in it so I don't have to store it when I go overseas.

This is an unfinished project. There isn't much left to do really.
Mainly just small bits and pieces.
Everything has been done with certification in mind and I don't think there would be any problems with any of the work complete so far.
This is what I think still needs doing:
Bumpstops
Strengthen Rear shock mount bar.
Fabricate Spare wheel carrier.
Handbrake modifications.
Front driveshaft mods, have a driveshaft but needs to be made the right length.
Was planning on putting a 2nd transfer case in to remove a vibration from the carrier bearing.
Mount battery box/boxes in rear tray.
There is more than likely other we bits to be done.
For this reason It would have to be sold as is where is.
There is a number of spare bits to go with it.
Currently rego is on hold and have been keeping it up to date.
I can't tell you eveything in a post so ask any questions and I will try and make time for any interested people to have a look at it.
I have spent thousands and alot of hours and skin has gone into what has been done so far, I would really like to have the satisfaction of completing this build but I can't see it happening anytime soon and if the right buyer comes along the weight of my shoulders would be great!!
Open to sensilbe offers for now......
Cheers Daniel
