Geez dave. You're a quick mover mate! Are you a little bored with life over there??

Should be a goer once its done (obviously!). Clearly its not going to be a sleeper, knowing your style anyway...

I thought you were going to do a full body makeover/respray before bits went into it?

Will be keen to see how this sick puppy turns out - and how long it takes you to complete it.

Cheers

bloody oath its gonna be sleeper

not doing the body work till ive done all the modifying i want to do, then remove it all, and do the body work...no point in doing the body work if i gotta work around it and prolly bang it up with all the things i gotta do on it.

Sounds like a plan! Just make sure you stick to it once you've got all the mechanicals going... Will you be going head to head against Alex in his L series build??

Cheers

WTF would you have thrown away the brumby column before you've completed the conversion :confused: you need a good beating.. I'm thinking a Rohan Atkinson type of beating.. fatal :D

But I might be able to help with a wiring loom and a steering column from the 99 rex.

yeh i know...never throw stuff away till the conversions done...but space is limited...and i was already doing a tip run...so i threw everything away at the same time....slapp**
