Havnt been doing much on the dual cab lately so today I installed the Marks 5th gear overdrive set.
I may get motivated tomorrow and do the 4 inch airbox install.

If you are still going to fit a Cummins, that will help with gearing I would think.

Painted the rear chassis section where I cut off all bits I dont need. Then bolted up the fuel tank to get it out of the way.

Painted the front part of chassis today.
Also got the rear doors and guards under primer.
Should get all the panels painted in a couple of weeks.

Stripped bonnet for paint. There is no damage so that makes it easier.

 

[nigel3780]

Sat the redarc gauges in, just because I wanted to see how they looked.

 

[nigel3780]

Finished off the front sunroof drains, also pulled through some rope to make getting wires up there easier.

 

[nigel3780]

Front of the chassis is done now too.

 

[nigel3780]

Springs and shocks in the rear.

 

[nigel3780]

Oh and wheels and tyres showed up Friday.

 

[rgren2]

Been busy. 👍

 

[nigel3780]

Picked up the doors and guards today.

Someone else doing the painting?? For some reason I thought you were doing it yourself.

 

[nigel3780]

One of my mates is doing the painting, he owes me a few favours.
I sat it all in the basement till Im ready to start fitting it up.

Still waiting on the engine to arrive, it's staring to **** me. Ordered it back in June. AECO are bloody useless.

The tray and canopy showed up though so tomorrow I'm going to strip it and get it to the powdercoater.

They didn't make an appearance on A Current Affair for business of the year.

 

[nigel3780]

Yeah I saw that one too late.

Canopy and tray at powdercoater.
Going texture black.
