It'll look completly different from just now colour wise! The sanding has been done and once all the work has been done, it's away getting sprayed for me at a cost of £0 all i've had to do really is sand down the body as can been seen in the pic there! the paint scheme won't last long but...
Some more progress today, got the front axle off to sort the twisting that happens, as the leaf springs have been put on top of the axle to give more clearance, so you need to add box section on the axle to stop the axle twisting. Still needs a little bit finished off before it gets put back on.
So attacked the Truck today, all the gearbox/transfer box filled with oil and finally a new fuel tank on instead of a temp fix, and we took it a run around the yard - it drives and works, well no brakes yet as we still have the front axel to take off so no point just now!!
Todays work started...
Another little update,
The fab work has started, well the ripping out of the rubbish that is there has started, and also the creation of the new fuel tank, yet to get pics of that but will next time i'm down - it's going to be an all day session on sat through the day & night :)
Before...
Hopefully going down at somepoint and sanding down the body for the new colour, it's only getting a rough sand down as it will be getting abused so not trying to get it perfect!
was meant to be down last night but ended up picking my mate up as he was out off roading and blew a cv in his, so...
Another little update,
Managed to to change the rear shoes & the rear centre brake hose only to discover that one of the rear wheel cylinders was shot, call to Dingbro & £23 later a new one on!!
Also managed to finish of the wiring and get the new switch panel in place and plugged in, as...
Well tackled it yesterday, managed to get the old gearbox/transfer box out - and the new one in, lets just say doing that was not pleasent, the amount of bolts missing in the bellhousing was crazy - so drilled out as many as we could and put new high tensile bolts and locking nuts on. Not got...
Fortunate enough to have access to 2 massive units, one with a two post ramp and the other is a massive unit with loads of space which is waiting for a 4 post and 2 post to go in at some point!
Well managed to get it back to our unit, what a balache that was, we had a car to tow a trailer, never had a trailer, got a trailer never had a car to tow it, but got there in the end! Not much done today with it, and never got a before picture, but i've whipped the seats out and cleared all...
Still waiting on all the details to come through mate, only just parted with the cash for it, and it sits up at the off Roading place, think it might be the 2.8 - it was a no brainer to take it, needs a bit off work but the wheels and tyres are worth £400 - £500 alone, it's got the leaf springs...
Well not your usual new toy thread but one that should be fun. Needs a wee bit of work to be made good! but has the potential to be a weapon off road! only picture i have just now is the below one, but will add my own as i go along!! Bargin price too!!
Thing is you will still need the orig files, the only way to get them i would imagine is A)Flashed from Renault/New ECU or B)Someone sends you the orig files from the same ECU? as you would need to upload it back to the car. Worth trying to get in contact with previous owner and see if he/she...
