Swap it out for a victa Rossco , you'll be driving that baby in days by the look of the progress , not sure that the lift is legal .
Yeah can't wait ! Yeah she does look a little high, might have to get sum 22" chromies with spinning centres to fill the gaps [emoji6]Quote:

What's impressive is what you're doing Rossco , that's one mighty big 3D jigsaw puzzle you have there , looking forward to see it all as it goes .
Your obviously having a bit of fun along the way which is good .
Was actually reasonably productive in between playing with little wheels & seats. . .
Rear quarter chop done with blanking plates from racebred. Just needs a lick is bog & primer. Might get some seam sealer or similar for the inside join.

Tig or mig welded ? If I ever get around to making a rear bar I will do that chop as well .
Used a mig. Not too bad does take a while tho grinding back then patching holes. . .
Yeah soooooo much easier just a shell it's awsome! ! Can just stand in the engine bay & swing around. 😅

I always blame that gas mate, my welds would be perfect without it ;-)
And I know better .
You need to make up one of those body stands where you can roll the entire body over and work on the underside, from the top. :) I bet you'd take a lot longer preping the body if you had one of those. You'd be looking at every square inch of the under side and looking at what you can do.
Actually forgot to to turn it on when i started - rookie mistake [emoji6] . . . Wondered why it was so rubbish. .Quote:

Look really good, should be the answer to strengthening guards for the batteries i reckon. Guard one looks quite obvious, not sure which way triangle one goes , thinking last pic maybe? ?http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...017/05/121.jpghttp://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...017/05/122.jpghttp://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...017/05/123.jpg

Cheers Nath just entertaining myself, glad someone else finds it funny ☺
Just hag a look through frankensteins GQ resurrection thread where i saw this kit. Looks like they go on the first way after looking at it, does look right i reckon. . . Never saw the end of that rebuild @OLY bit of a bugger was good following that one. . .
Sent from my GT-I9506 using Tapatalk
Well done with the humor and yes I think it's the first one too .
That's definitely the answer, bloody hell mine is severely cracking even braced with the top holder.Quote:

Yeah not bad at all. From Big O 4x4 in pinaroo SA, was $160 delivered, think they do a kit for GUs as well.

Having another look at it I'm thinking the bottom pic is right? Are you expected to weld along the edge or the fold? Do you fold that edge to 90 and flat of fit like it is? I reckon the bottom pic will weld better and the dipple dies are facing in. Give them a call mate.
Top one would be the go. Bottom one does not sit under the brace as intended and wont be as strong.
Yeah definatly top one i reckon. Panel beater is coming up tomorrow hopfully to have a look. Want to do as much as possible to help with painting & keep costs down . . .
Sent from my GT-I9506 using Tapatalk
I assume you could fit the bottom pic in under the frame too though yeah? And your running your welds along the edge or along the fold? Is that fold to make a long tab? And are you meant to bend that?
Yeah fits under the frame nicely both ways, the long edge buts up against the mount for the guard too which is nice. . .Quote:

Looks nicer with dimples facing in I reckon . . .http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...017/05/127.jpghttp://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...017/05/128.jpg

I sent Andrew from Big O a message and photo from here and he has confirmed that the bottom pic is correct. In under the guard as per the top pic but dimple dies in
Looks awesome . Bottom for sure off those 2 pics.Quote:
