My Safari GQ

[Ade]

Hi guys. Been thinking about having my build up thread to share this excitment and thrills of the things we all love doing. Kind a bit late though since I've been started rebuilding since I bought the Safari about 2 yaers ago or so and the to do list never stop since then. At the moment she is having a body make over. This body work started when my driver's door side mirror fell off on a trial run after having the auto box rebuild. I end up buying all four doors just to get those side mirrors. But I think its a good bargain, and those mirrors are from the newer model with power adjustment. A generous mate of mine also gave me his extra front fenders that has a cornering lamp on them. So..I thought this is the right time for me to DIY the body work. And new adventure has begun..

[Bigrig]

Look forward to keeping up with it mate!!

[Clunk]

Look forward to keeping up with it mate!!

x2 with that, always enjoy a good build/diy thread

[Ade]

This is the front door from the local wrecker fitted to the Safari. At first I was giving it a thought to replace all four doors since it came with the rubber moulding on them. But when I strip off one of the moulding it seems to trapped muds causing the door's panel to build rust. So I decided to replace both front doors only without the mould.

[Ade]

And the front fender with the cornering lamp..

[Ade]

One thing about these newer doors is they have been added with those reinforced round tube in them for protection during side collision which the old one didn't have.

[Ade]

x2 with that, always enjoy a good build/diy thread

Yeah.. I hope you all guys will enjoy still. I will need advices as I go along this build though. Any comments are much appreciated too.

[Ade]

Good stuff Ade! I loooove Safaris so please also post some pics up in the "Safari thread" when you can! Good luck with the work you're doing!

Thanks Plassy..will try to do that.

[growler2058]

:bananarock:Dont forget lots of photos mate:bananarock:

[AB]

Keep us updated mate for sure!

[Woof]

Very nice mate, love the Safari's

[Ade]

Getting the Safari ready for the primer tomorrow..almost done with the masking. Tooks me almost 4 hours to get it masked! Will continue first thing tomorrow morning. Here's the picture of her inside my temporary paint booth..

[growler2058]

Good job mate if ya gunna do it do it properly

[Ade]

Managed to coat her with primer today..turned out to be okay. So far so good..
Today's pictures..

[Ade]

Now I just cant stop thinking about getting another suspension and lift set up. I fitted these 35'' Simex right after the primer and..something didn't looked quite nice here. 35'' looks rather small still..or maybe I need more lift? Or maybe because of this high roof made those 35'' looks small..

What do you all think..??? Pleaseee...

[Ade]

See..kinda small eh?

[Ade]

More piccies for ya..

[Ade]

These things came to visit the Safari..how dare! LOL......

[Ade]

Done with sanding the primer coat today but didn't managed to re-mask for the base coat. Hopefully tomorrow will. Decided to repaint with the old color..black top and silver bottom. By the way, I planning to replace current 3'' suspension set up (OME shocks and Kings springs). Am thinking of a 4''-5'' lift..needed more flex and will put in 315/16 AT for road and 35''/16 for off road. My local 4b store here didn't have the kits for this GQ. So am looking forward them buy the on-line from Aussie. Been looking at this Superior Engineering stuff..

1. Dobinson front & rear medium duty 4-5 inch coil spring OR coil spacer front & rear 50mm
2. SRC 4-5 inch front & rear shock
3. Drop box 4-5 inch lift OR Super Flex radius arm 5 inch lift
4. Sway bar disconnect rear 5 inch
5. Braided brake line front 5 inch
** Will mod rear arms myself

Anyone used this set up? Any other recommendation..?

[growler2058]

Gday Ade i have replied to your pm, Yep this sounds good what your doing check with Hipponz on extras you may need, i went extended radius arms as i feel they are gunna be stronger b ut that is just my opinion not a proven fact. I have heard that the super flex arms are excellant.

Thanks heap mate..

[Ade]

Few days after the primer coat, managed to put on the base coat today. Decided to choose the old color scheme, black top and silver bottom. This is my first body work project for this Safari..it's painstaking, fun and pure excitement! :wink: I am satisfied..

[YNOT]

It's looking good Ade, can't wait to see it finished.

Tony

[Ade]

Thanks Tony..

So far base coat are looking good Tony. They need some touch up tough, will continue tomorrow. But I'm a bit concerned about putting on the clear coat. From what I've read and heard, clear coating is the most tricky part in a paint work. Finger crossed! Any advise on this..?

[YNOT]

Sorry mate but I've never had much to do with the paint side of things, I stick to the mechanicals.

Tony

[Ade]

What even concerned me more are some saying that clear coat need to be put on right after the base coat touch dried. Is this true? If it is then I'm in trouble..since I only be able to clear coat tomorrow or this Sunday..

[Ade]

Sorry mate but I've never had much to do with the paint side of things, I stick to the mechanicals.

Tony

Same with me but you should try it Tony. Time consuming but it's worth the time consumed! Hehehe..

[YNOT]

What even concerned me more are some saying that clear coat need to be put on right after the base coat touch dried. Is this true? If it is then I'm in trouble..since I only be able to clear coat tomorrow or this Sunday..

I have heard of the COBRA (clear over base rapid application) method but I don't think it's the only way you can do it. I'm happy to be corrected by someone who knows more about painting than I do but I think you will still get a good result putting the clear on over a dry base.

Tony

[YNOT]

Same with me but you should try it Tony. Time consuming but it's worth the time consumed! Hehehe..

I've seen how long it took one of my mates to strip back and repaint his 1972 Ford Capri. Far too much work for my liking!

Tony

That's a relief from a mechanical guru. Any paint guru here..?

[growler2058]

The black over silver looks the goods mate like it alot . I have afriend who's a paint guru I'll try get on to him a bit later it's a bit early now he'd tell me in no uncertain terms to go away hahaha

[Ade]

Thanks a lot mate..you made me choose that color. Haha..but I'm loving it!
I don't think I would be able to do the clear coat today, there's some touch up need to be done. So will looking forward to hear from you then.

[growler2058]

I've set a reminder in my phone for 0900 thus mornin to ring him

[growler2058]

What type of paint are you using? Two pack or acrylic or enamel??

[Ade]

Thanks mate. I used 2 pack..

[growler2058]

The info you got was correct. If you put on the clear now after the base is well and truely dry it will laminate. What you need to do is rough it up with 800 grit paper or a scotch brite and spray another coat of the base colour then as soon as it's touch dry spray on the clear. Bit of a bummer mate but you've done a good job so far may a well finish it properly :beer: ya might need a few of these to get ya through mate:beer:

[Ade]

Lots of a bummer mate..love that black/silver color. Finally decided it'll be all black! That's actually is my Plan-B hehehe. Started sanding it it with 800g straight away after reading your pm..hope will be able to finish it tomorrow.

I checked your build thread and saw that you had those mirrors. You need weathershields to suit '92 to '97 model.

[Ade]

[Ade]

These are my flares..made out of a 6.5mm thick x 16'' widht conveyor belt. Tooks me almost 2 hours to cut and fit them up.

[growler2058]

Great job mate well done

[Ade]

Great job mate well done

Thanks mate.

My next projects are rear and scrub bar, and side steps. Didnt have the chance last weekend to make them..and thinking about screwing the front flares to the bottom of the scrub bar later so they wont sag.

[Ade]

2'' body lift done today..looking good so far. Made them with ally, three sizes..70mm for the rear, 75mm for the front and 80mm for the rest of the mounts. Sorry for the poor piccies..took them with my phone camera..

[AB]

Its' looking like a beast these days mate, very nice!

[Ade]

Things that I adjusted are axle breather line, tapped loose the steering flex coupling, rear sway bar cable down the fire wall and the gear shifter. Things still need to be done are to lower the radiator, cut the floor a little for the transfer shifter..what else??

[Ade]

How do people mod their ARB winch bar to suit the body lift..? Anyone done it before?

[Clunk]

sorry mate but don't know the answer.....................

Came to have a look at the progress you've been making and started at the beginining of your thread again to remind me what it used to look like...................... looks like a serious beast all in black now mate and a better choice I reckon than black over silver......... like the NP forum sticker too, when are you getting it made up???? lol

[Ade]

Yup..agreed with the color there, all black are better. But we have to ask AB for the sticker though..haha.

[Clunk]

Yup..agreed with the color there, all black are better. But we have to ask AB for the sticker though..haha.

get one made up over there mate, I'm sure AB wont mind

[Ade]

hahaha..see, I got you wrong there. cant keep thinking about the bar mod..am cracking my head now. no tight sleep tonite for sure. done mine last sunday mate..proud NP owner here. Wonder where is that head hunter from Borneo gone..???

[YNOT]

How do people mod their ARB winch bar to suit the body lift..? Anyone done it before?

PM sent but for anyone else who is interested;

I have modded an ARB bar to suit a body lift but it wasn't a winch bar. I cut the chassis mounts off the bar forward of where the mounts go into the chassis and welded on 10mm steel plates which extended below the mounts. I then rewelded the cut off mounts on the other side of the plates 50mm lower. Being a winch bar you would need to reinforce the area as much as possible.

Tony

[Ade]

Thank you boss..also found couple of way to do it but sure not an easy 1/2 an hour job.

[Ade]

So..made the bottom brackets off 2mm left over steel plate in the workshop, bent, welded and epoxy primed. I'd to cut the original bottom brackets too. Sorry for the poor piccies off my phone camera as usual.. will continue for the upper brackets tomorrow.

[Ade]

By the way..has anyone here used the Heavy Duty Recalibrated Valve body from the Wholesale Automatic Transmission? Would looove to hear feedbacks and comments.... Thank you in advance, comrades.

[Ade]

My slider/step in the making, unfinished rear bumper..looks weird to me, something isn't right there still, lifted the ARB winch bar..and they are all darN heavy!

What steel do people used to make theirs..?? I used Sch80 steam pipe and that step weigh 28kgs/side..! I ordered 2'' O.D for the step and 2.5'' O.D for the rear bar instead they gave me I.D of those sizes. Too lazy to sent them back I'd just make do with them and now she'll drink dieso even more..

Miss ya all guys..!!

[growler2058]

Good to see you back on board Ade:thumbup:

[frenzy]

G'day Ade, your beast is looking great. Top work on the bars as well.
I've been to Sabah a few times. You'd have some awseome mud and tracks wouldn't ya?
Cheers,
Steve

[Ade]

Gday Steve,

Thanks, that bar and steps had save the side and rear body few times during my trip to the village..so glad I,ve made them that way. And yup..we got awesome mud and tracks but still didnt have chances to try them myself. If you ever wanted re-visit Sabah..let me know, I'll show you around mate.

[Ade]

Bought myself ARB rear locker yesterday, and being busy trying to install them myself this morning. I've reassembled everthings and now waiting for my mate to bring me new axle oil..fill up and Harbour Trial! Will post pictures later..

[Clunk]

Good on ya mate..

[timbar]

comming along nicely mate those bars look pretty solid mate NICE

[Ade]

Bummer me..now I've got an issue with my drive terrain after installing the air locker. Done with it this evening, quick test in the workshop the locker functioning well. The problem is as I went out for the road test, there are low/mid pitch vibration as my speed reaching to 90kph and above..very obvious one! They seems came from the rear axle. I've replaced both U-joint in the prop shaft, checked both rear wheel bearings and they are good, all wheels balanced..and most of all, it didn't have that problem before. Did I missed anything here..? Could it be the the back lash of the ring and pinion gear..?

[Ade]

But no sweet dreams for me tonite mate..darn vibration

un sure Mate could be a combination of all of them ????? cant help u there check to be sure you put all the shims back in in the right order ??? when i replaced my rear diff i had a vibration only on take off after retensioning the rear axles it went away and havent heared it since how bad is the vibration ???

[nowoolies]

My slider/step in the making, unfinished rear bumper..looks weird to me, something isn't right there still, lifted the ARB winch bar..and they are all darN heavy!

What steel do people used to make theirs..?? I used Sch80 steam pipe and that step weigh 28kgs/side..! I ordered 2'' O.D for the step and 2.5'' O.D for the rear bar instead they gave me I.D of those sizes. Too lazy to sent them back I'd just make do with them and now she'll drink dieso even more..

looking sweet as mate
keep them piccies a comming

[frenzy]

Ive seen this one before. Make sure the uni joints are aligned.

[Ade]

Love that front arm on the sliders - very original ... what's it mount to (or should I just go look under my rig and stop being lazy??!! lmao).

Sorry mate..very late reply. I welded the brackets made off c' channel bar to the chassis and tack weld nut behind the brackets for ease of installation. Very strong, can use high lift jack here and they wont bent neither flex..

[Clunk]

Sorry mate..very late reply. I welded the brackets made off c' channel bar to the chassis and tack weld nut behind the brackets for ease of installation. Very strong, can use high lift jack here and they wont bent neither flex..

like the work.............. not sure if we're allowed to do that over here though but happy be be corrected

[Ade]

Ive seen this one before. Make sure the uni joints are aligned.

Very2 true mate..thats the culprit. I replaced both U joint for the rear prop shaft but I get the wrong joints from the shop. It cracks my head to find the problem, thinking it was the back lash of the ring and pinion gear! I had to redo the locker but couldn't find anything wrong with the back lash or what so ever. The U joint are supposed to be 102mm(H) x 32mm but the shop gave me 100mm(H)..bugger!

[timbar]

nice cheap fix though better than replacing the diff center

[Ade]

It is mate..I thought I'd the locker destroyed! Some pics during the locker install..

[growler2058]

Glad you got that sorted Ade good news mate

[Bigrig]

Sorry mate..very late reply. I welded the brackets made off c' channel bar to the chassis and tack weld nut behind the brackets for ease of installation. Very strong, can use high lift jack here and they wont bent neither flex..

Oh to be able to weld to the chassis!!! lol

We're not able to over here - illegal to weld to and/or modify the chassis in anyway .. which truth be told, I understand why.

Doing well mate, coming up a treat and glad you sorted the locker also.

[Ade]

G'day guys..

It's been a while since my last post to the forum. But been actively following some threads here in the free time.

Today I really feels like need to post some piccies here..thought someone might like the idea I have to it. This is how I mod my factory exhaust manifold to mount the turbo. Never really had a pic of it till now (been busy rebuilding the motor and its almost done). It's cheap and working good for me so far and today I've just finished mounting the ext. wastegate to it..

[Clunk]

Welcome back Ade, been waiting to see what you've been up to with that good looking beast of yours

[Ade]

Welcome back Ade, been waiting to see what you've been up to with that good looking beast of yours

Thanks mate,

Nothing much been done to her just fully used her on the road though. Been traveling all around till the last trip end of last January on my way home when suddenly the exhaust blew lots of white smoke! It scared me a little thinking I might just blew up the head gasket or cracked the head, did I..!!??? Back in the garage, took off the head..they are all good. Took me a while to find out what caused that holy smoke!

[Ade]

This is my intake plenum..I've re mod it (lowered) to suit the top mount i/c but seems have to leave the i/c at the front for the time being cause it will drag the down slip date way ahead where she supposed to be gone bushing end of the month..

[Ade]

Gday guys,

Few shots of today accomplishment before its all go back into the engine bay tomorrow, hopefully everything will be okay. Good weekend though.. :biggrin:

[growler2058]

G'day Ade good to hear from you again looks like the safari is gunna be a full on beast with the turbo mate

Gday ol mate, Its the old turbo been rebuild. Just added an external waste gate to it..its a 40mm Tubosmart Comp Gate with a screamer pipe :devilred: dunno how loud it will scream though?? Hopefully be able to hear it tomorrow..

[growler2058]

[Ade]

Thanks guys,

[Ade]
