Engine size and turbo, Thats the least of my worries!! coil-overs, hand made suspension, diff swap, full internal roll cage, 37" tyres, shortened chassis, extended wheel base and track, lexan rear windows, turbo hanging out the bonnet, brake upgrade, beadlocks!! i got NO hope

 

so im about to put the enigne back together for the last time, just got some ceramic coating to do, I've linished the flanges so there flat as possible there was a couple of lows and highs from the welding, as seen in pic!! What gaskets are most the turbo blokes running?, are the some that are better than others?

 

Just the standard GM gaskets

 

Got a mate to Coat these in podwer coat chrome, come up sweet i think.









Dump pipe ready to wrap.

 

Cage finished, QLD Transport approved and all






Front bar started. going to be similar to the last one but a lot higher in the centre.




Passenger View from the Seat! i need to figure out a way to cover it.

 

Very cool project!

 

i love this thing i wanna see video of it! haha

 

how did you get that cage through queensland transport? i thought you were only allowed 4 point bolt in cages?

 

Grace period for rule change ends end of next month. They have now adopted National standard (No cage work forward of the B Pillar), about 5ish months ago, with a 6 month transition period. so if you have 6 point ya better be quick getting it approved, NOW or Never!!

 

Couple of new add on's, Made a big mistake with the beer holder , i did not allow for a stubie cooler, will have to re do that!!



Air ducting to rear air box



Recovered the dash in black vinyl had to cut out the dash for the cage.


Compressor and start of the air box



Air box lid


Battery Mounted


Found an easy way to Notch large pipes just clamped them the lathe EASY!!

 

That pipe is your air filter pipe work ?

Even at 4", such a long route, I can see it posing a fair restriction.

 

I learned that trick this weekend too.

 

Flip-flops and metal working....awesome

 

very nice build!!!! i have a question, what motor mounts are those?

 

Nice build best of luck with it working good.

 

Yeah that tropical NOrth QLD for ya to hot otherwise, i have built this whole truck in flip flops!!


Home made bud trailing arm Bush's, work real well and are practically fail safe
