ade666:
thanks for the offer boss. its going to be a fair few months yet before we start as my mate is redoing the front inner wings first and getting it through the mot. but we would like to come down and have a butchers at yours first. is your rear hoop from a 90. i'll sort out when we're both off at a weekend and see if your available. would you say its been hard or just time consuming

boss:
the rear hoop was from another disco truck, not built to fia standards but should hold on a minor tumble. a 90 hoop will fit as well;)
well...its been frustrating you CAN do it in 2 days with 2 people who know what there doing in a workshop but you will end up with less than what i had before i re grafted the roof, IE just a sheet.
as you have access to build pics on how to do stuff you could probably get to the same stage I'm at with in a week. unfortunately i had next to nothing when it came to pics, i had a few from cheviot Dave which were not really that helpfull as i wasn't aiming my truck to be as good as that one, and i had some more which i took as a guide on how not to do it! so it was played by ear.
there is already talk of plans to rebuild it in the winter! i would make a list of absolutely everything you need to do to it and prioritise it. get tit through an mot first then do all your offroad mods so you can use it at least then make the chop
as for coming over, we are planning a trip to wildtracs soon to christen it its probably best that you comedown then

ade666:
i was planning on taking a week off work to do it. what spec box section did you use for making the the side and rear frame thingies. when and where is wildtracs mate

boss:
the rear of the tub is made with 2"x2"x2mm box section and the frames are made of same but 1"x1"
i would not do it that way i would re attach the wings/lights the way they were

like this one


or this is an alternative


wild tracks it up red lodge way

boss:
intake pipe fully welded up today! not 1 hole was blown through and it dont look half bad.....i hate welding alli!
