Progress! First cut on the body

[Roess]

I've been thinking about the color and type of paint i will get on the car. so i have been sitting here on the computer this evening and the result is quite untraditional lads!! i am gonna paint the entire body with!.... wait for it!.... bedliner now that is the weirdest and the coolest i have seen on a offroader, and! i dont need to polish and be careful with the datsun :P just get in and drive without being worried for road salt and winter and other hostile enviroment

thinking of the beige/brown afghan hummers color on the patrol. is that cool?

interesting colour choice and product

very nice

should look real cool once you have finished

how will the colours match with the orange chassis???

Here we would call it Chook shite, a speckle style finish inside a ute tub.
There are a few DIY spray on tub liners, Rhino springs to mind.
You need a colour that will allow your running gear [orange] to POP lol
There was a tar based product that you spray on via a "HOT GUN" not
sure of that name either, but was black and a great salt deterrant. I'll have a look for you.

I have second thought about orange axles, cause these will give me limitations regarding the color on the body... First i was planning to do a black car with the orange axles but then that got me started thinking og KTM. I dont want a KTM colored car so if i paint the car with army beige i think i'll change the color of the axles as well.

I have watching some DIY films at youtube and i think it looks real cool. Have you seen it for real life? This is the first time for me that i have seen a product like this, so it feels kind of cool to use a product that nobody else in a radius of 700 km have on the outside of an truck

Doesent U-POL Raptor give a smooth (not as regular paint) surface or do you get scratches when you draw your cheek over the paint? Are these two you are referring to better choices?

anyone else notice that you are using what looks to be a railway sleeper to hold the body up? haha they are bloody heavy!!!

I don't know where in Norway you live - but I live in Oslo. I drove my 260 Patrol to Trondheim and spoke with a rather "famous" guy called Bruno Jørgensen. He's got complete TD42 kits ready for sale. He even lets his guys do the job in his workshop. I recommend you to contact him if you want a certified TD42-engine. The only thing that stops me from doing that is of course the difficulty of placing a TD42 in a 260 body/frame.

Cheers
