Patrol GR Build.

[Jay666d]

Yeah, I've seen loads of so called car HUD kits and they aren't worth the money yet. Not least because they aren't connected to any guns or missiles...

Correct! :naughty

Sorry but it looks like a bodged meccano thingybobwotsit........:nenau

 

[Jay666d]

Ha, that's exactly what it is!

I prefer it to Mk1 & Mk11

Smaller, more compact, and less rattley! :lol

 

[Banshee]

Now that Jay is pure genius!!!!!!

That looks the part mate, super cool, the only criticism I have is the cabling, I'd probably wrap tight together in something black but on the whole mate that is epic!!!

How much did it cost you to buy enough Meccano to make one?

:bow

I'm on it buddy.... I've got some at work but was keen to get it set up last night!

I used this set here!

I used nearly all of it too!

Got a little discount to for picking the most damaged box I could find! :lol

[Blocky10]

Ha ha ha. That's spot on. Well done Jay but at a guess I'd say your little lad had some input :lol

 

[Jay666d]

:lol

He is the reason we were in the toy shop, so I'll give him that! :thumbs

 

[Jay666d]

Here's a quick catch up on the Old Girl's modifications so far!

I will still post some pictures, but I think I'm going to do most of the build thread updates in video format from now on! :thumbs

Jay the truck looks great but please buzzweld the underneath. Its way too good a truck to get any rust issues.

The wife likes it too lol was asking if it was for sale watching the video :lol

 

[jims-terrano]

Great video look around your truck jay, done it again haven’t I. Saw the notification on YouTube and watched it before I came on here:doh

I’m interested in the auxiliary battery setup and the wiring you have.

Cheers

Yes I agree!

Next summer, the underside will become my top priority! :thumbs

There's some points when I consider selling for a new project... But I'm firmly in love with her! :rose

I don't mind where you watch it! At least I know YouTube is doing its job! :clap

I'd really appreciate it if you could put your request about the battery setup in the comments on the video. (Video interaction, Likes, Comments & Shares help boost the video in the YouTube algorithm!) :bow

Had a good run down the country this weekend.

Mainly motorway miles... Averaged 24.75 MPG! :clap

Finally, I now have all the parts that I need to fit the extended wheel arches! :clap

Now I just need to find the time! :doh

 

[Jay666d]

Tonight I got a little bit of work done on the Old Girl!

Finally got around to making the small rear barn door open fully!

I decided not to go the obvious way, so I didn't order an extended part from Oz!

I think this worked a treat! :clap

Also, I wanted to add a little something extra! :naughty

Great ideas there Jay, it’s the little things that can make so much difference. Think I need a trol now:thumbs

Nice simple little mods!

 

[Wheelie]

Just watched your video jay, you’ve inspired me to carry out that mod as that door always catches me out because it doesn’t open fully.
Great video btw
