My Moneypit - 89 GQ

Thanks nissannewby. The cutout is so I can still access the shutoff valve on my LPG tank, as it is inside the rear of the car.

I actually made a start on my rear drawers today. have made the main body, but still need to make the drawers and the side bits, as I want to have a complete false floor in the back. The height is of the gas tank, as the tank holders support part of the floor.

I also changed my design slightly to allow the one drawer to open when I only have the small door to open.

Cheers!

Looks good mate well done, ive made my carcass about 6mths ago and its still sitting in the shed :-)

You could do a lid type setup down each side and use that space there that normally would be void for the storage of recovery gear tool kits jumper leads etc.

Yeah I was thinking of doing something like that. I'm just looking at the best way to do it so I can access through my sliding rear windows - just in case i can't open my rear drawers for recovery.

The other problem is that the height brings the false floor up to the windows. so If I put anything in I will have to secure it somehow to stop it sliding round and smashing through some glass.

Cheers!

Well no more done on the drawers yet - however i just replaced the bushes on my passenger side radius arm - chassis end. Thats what my banging noise whenever I hit a bump was - the bush was almost completely gone!!!

So i think that most my bushes can't be too far behind, so I have ordered a bush kit for radius arms, panhards, upper and lower control arms. - hopefully will replace them soon, but the electrical box on the pres at work just got smashed up, so I don't know how long it will be before I am able to use it (low priority - we use it maybe once every 3 months)

Cheers!

I did a rear quarter chop the other day, and knocked up a rear bar this arvo. Still needs a coat of paint, and also a bit of modifying to make it stronger, but I am pretty happy with how it turned out!

Sorry bout the poor quality, will get some better pics tommorow!

Cheers!

Gave the rear bar a quick flick of paint today and got some more pics. I eventually plan to replace the bits of flat holding the mudflaps with proper tube and bolt it to the chassis for more strength on the side.

Got a few more pics.

Cheers!

I don't know what came over me!!! Today I suddenly had a desire to finish things, installed my stereo system (yes the one I got last year), finished my rear drawers, and mostly installed my UHF. (The aldi UHF's can be made to fit in place of the rubbish sliding tray until you plug the Cord for the aerial in and then it won't!) My car actually looks complete for the first time since I bought it!

Pics to come soon

Cheers!

replaced my broken taillight today. one less thing to worry about next time I get pulled over.

Does anyone have any ideas on a good replacement solid flare that attaches to the outside of the car so I can't rip it off every time I have a little bit of flex? something that won't break the apprentice bank either.

Cheers!

hey mate. love the rig. with a beast like that ya go hard, or go home. :P
