No idea what I'm doing but ...... Meh!

So you cutting with a grinder (my 2nd favourite tool) or going upmarket on me with oxy etc. You going to do your own welding etc or going to call a friend? If you're doing it yourself please take pics..I'm a big believer of the blind leading the blind.

Yeah useing the 5 inch had to take off the gard to get into the corners tho and be carfull of those lines under the floor lol, i knicked some of the wireing for the tail lights but that I can fix, I dont own a welder so will be loading her up onto a trailer and getting a mate who welds for a living to do it for me, I rekon a slab one weekend will take care of that. :)
I'll take piccies tho as we go but getting my hubby motervated to help organise a car trailer is the hardest part :p

Good job Michelle and love the big piccies ;-)

Excellent work Michelle, can't believe how far yiuve got since that first pic in the paddock

Grinder is the go, dont touch an oxy,too much heat,major panel distortion,and with fuel lines around the front floor area, itll be dangerous

Michelle,
Doin well,your givin me motorvation to do something with a shorty sitting here doin nothin
But the minister is getting annoyed theres more comin in the yard than what leaves

Michelle you are truly an inspiration to both men and women, who are, have been and and are still to be members/visitors of his forum.

You have shown with belief in yourself, you can do what most say can't be done.

Stand Tall, Be Proud, and Raise a Toast to Yourself!

Great Build I'm proud of you, and one day hope to meet you in person, and go for ride in YOUR Patrol.

Tim

Keep up the good work and pics, gives me hope that I may finish my project LOL. Thank god there's heaps of advice and inspiration (you fall under the latter ;-) ) on here

Ok so I know this has prob been discussed before but i have just chucked in some batteries and started her up for the first time in a long while, no on start she blowes the white smoke that im not worried about as it clears and i need to put in some new glow plugs I think but at an idle its fine give her a few revs and the smoke comes out a dark grey or (blue if you like) rev the crapper out of her and the smoke fills the back yard not sure what to think never noticed it before, it was rebuilt years ago and only done about 5000k's or less befor sitting for years, will the glow plugs help? or maybe its the old deisel? worried now, and hubby is laughing at me saying its a box of **** :( breaking my heart
