Hi guys, I'm in lockdown again so going to do some suspension work on the old shortie shortening project.
Can anyone link me to dimensioned chassis plans please ?

I've had a busy week with life n work but did manage a few hours of axle prep.
First off I did a ratio check. I bought these Y61 axles years ago and was told they were off a 2.8 So 2 turns at the...

I have a snag regarding the diff lock actuator thingy. Mine is goosed :confused:
I'm also fitting diff case protection as below. Do you guys know of any alternative gizmos that will do the job ?...

Sunday and the sun is out , yay. Typical as I'm on paint today :confused:

Things are starting to move again, which is awkward when I'll have no axles in the morning :confused:
Decided I better make some kind of chassis dolley trolley thing to keep it moveable. 50mm box...

Motor plans are a bit sketchy at the mo but I have a mechanical pump, soon to go off to DieselMeken :) I also have a very large supercharger !!!
Initially I'll be quite happy with the 200 bhp...

Top news today, I just sold the axles off the old Y60 £650 old skool money pounds :)
Minutes later I converted half that into an OM606 engine, which is an absolute steal.
Now got to start buying...

Here's a little update . Big day with sand , 30 odd bags of it infact. The poor old chassis had built up a protective layer of proper blighty rust :(
So to make life easier and identify any weak...

Funny old day, had to go back to work :furious:
Don't know how you guys are doing down there but Wales is just lifting lockdown :(
Consequently didn't get much done on the Trol but did start...

You say UTE, I say pickup.
You say guard, I say bumper.
What ever it's called we both call it fun :coffeetime:
Now then, the rain has stopped and so I got my ladder out to chop the top, of my ...

Here in deepest darkest west Wales we still have plenty of feckin' rain ..... :(
So in a kind of out of sequence job we got on with making the barn doors into a tailgate, as you do
Incase I hadn't...

Here's the old girl resting, as it has for two years. All we've done is get the engine out. Sold that and set about undoing the body mounts. Undid the looms and ripped off the rotten fuel pipes....

Hello again, I'm back :tease:
My old Trol has been parked up minding her own business for a few years . Now with all my lockdown house jobs brownie points cashed in, I'm back on the spanners....

Settle down, settle down, this will take a while :coffeetime:
I'm back after years of other Nissan projects and have at last started to revive my old Trol.
it's been stood un-used for at least 3...

Ha UK answer ;) I've been running my Trol on bio since I had it. No issues other than a few more filter changes early on. Massive savings in fuel costs and the exhaust smells like chips . What's not...

Ah, forgot about your Aus restrictions :( No big deal over here , just a phone call to the insurance ;)

Hi Joe welcome boyo ;)
I'm still here and still loving the trol ;)

Just seen this thread and hadn't realised it's been done over ? I joined for trol action , not manuals .
The manual is available free on tinterweb anyway so why bother busting a gut sorting out the...
