BUT!! I'll say again - couldn't have done it without ya mate - definitely needed both sets of hands!!
piccies, did ya get piccies as proof ???????? That will settle it!!! hahahaha
Well, done what I can today until the chop chop tomorrow ... Couple of coats of paint baked with the little hand held heat gun, drilled out those two bolts and cleaned up the threads (and whacked some anti-seize in them), cleaned up the bolts that are going back on, and measured up the bar work for the support arms (to be cut and welded in place on Tuesday ... it's getting there ... should be on Wednesday and the wide centre section of the shelf/drawer system goes in Thursday (side sections 4 weeks away!! Bugger!!) ... Tank is getting a bunch of lovin at the moment!!!
Kills me thinking of what's 'still' to be done - new rims, new tyres, engine rebuild with super charger, front bar customizing and powder coat, rock sliders, rear window frames and rubbers ... hope it holds it's resale value!!!! LMFAO!!!
All fun and games, but loving it ... going to have to export this thread somehow and turn it into a 'coffee table' magazine!! lol
Haha!! Nope - not quite that cruel ... that said, it was a 4" angle grinder - that's a pretty big power tool in dhucks little hands!! LOL!!!Quote:

May be slow but.....................gees ya ruff hahahahahahahahahah
Would have been easier with a cut off saw. But I guess you have to work with what ya got. Although the pipe cutter was cutting beautiful till the wheel broke.

Well, the big day has arrived - chop chop for Tank!! He hasn't said anything, but I reckon he's nervous! LOL
I know I am!!!! lmao
Hopefully should have it back late this arvo and will post up some shots of the "big snip"!!!
Don't worry, I'm sure 'Tank' is putting on a brave face Haha..Quote:

Cant wait anutha troll with an @rse lift hahahahahaha
Nip and tuck!!! I can't wait either ... just dropped it off, and the bloke said it might be tomorrow morning to get it back. I played on the "ahh mate, you know, four kids to drop off for school, etc" ... "reckon you could do it today like we discussed and I'll throw a carton your way?" ...Quote:

Woooooo Hooooooo Sh1t hot mate looks bloody brilliant
How much was it if you don't mind me asking. I couldnt get it to come up that good, so maybe paying could be a good option...
$400 mate, but I paid $50 extra for that black coat finish - looks sh!t hot and well worth it, but not essential.Quote:

Very nice Scotty, looking good, I'm jealous!
Thanks one and all ... greatly appreciated.
Just measured up the support brackets and pipe - took a couple of happy snaps of the passenger side whilst I had it on ... lordy, lordy doesn't it open the back end up!! Bars look nice and tough also - always a bonus!! lol

Looks great scotty, certainly opened up the backend.
Ohhh yeah thats the goods mate! Do you have to put mud flaps on to keep the law happy up there??

Came up better than even you expected very neat and tidy
mate top job you must be wrapt! Looking at doing the same in the near future and wondered about getting the scissors out too, with a job as neat as that its convincing! LMAO
Nice one Bigrig, gotta be happy with that mate....... looks the dogs nuts that
I won't keep boring you with photos - promise ... lol
Just a couple of shots in the daylight with the bars on - thinking of not using those black rubber bumper stops now ... think it would look better with some checkplate housing to conceal the join between the bars and the alloy step ... not sure, but leaving them off while I contemplate it - get some square tube to finish off the supports in the morning, spray em up and there ready for the landcruiser park trip ...
