Project/workshop - Trolol

[Fez_uk]

Yours look in much better condition.

Did a bit more on the front today with my big brother grinder I've had boxed new for a good few months. Makes gutting the bigger stuff much easier.

Removed the front cross member with the intention of patching a few bits that are rusted. But it's all muilti layered. So I'm going to make a new one out of box.

Also just bought my first toy for the trol, a nice warn 8274 winch with bow1 motor. mmmm :naughty

Spinna popped over to the shed today to pick up some bumper mounts I had spare. Afterwards I got on with making the new body crossmember out of 50mm box.

Fair play you don't mess about. That looks a nice bit of fab work and it was nice to meet you in person. Thanks again and hope we can do some laning soon.

Ha, Thanks. Many different engines. This is a 4.2 diesel, Non turbo. Plan on putting a turbo on it once I finished the roll cage/body mods.

I've welded up all the left side, Needs a paint and will profile the edge depending on how I run the challenge wing sliders. I start the other side this week! Had family down this weekend so a small break from it.

I'm on a US site & over there they get a straight 6 4.5(could be bigger) SOHC or DOHC then the guy's are sticking big turbo's on for fun what makes me laugh is they are complaining about petrol being 3.5-4 dollars a gallon:doh

 

[Fez_uk]

I'd love a nice meaty V8 in it but would mean higher running costs and would need alot of work on it to make it so I can wade fairly deep.

Todays pics, Left side is pretty much done. Just need some finishing touches at a later date, will prime it so it does not rust.

Started the other side this lunch break:

 

[Fez_uk]

Just grabbed myself a Tube notcher off ebay for when I make the roll cage. Not needed at this stage but saved myself about £20.

Nice one Fez,
I'm on the Black Pearl still so don't get too far ahead eh

 

[Fez_uk]

Still lots to do, going to be a long while yet!

Spent a few hours on it today, Started on removing the sills. Barely any left now. Ran out of discs for the cutter so went home early.

New rule, Sills are uncool. No sills are now in fashion! :naughty

 

[jims-terrano]

OMG another thing that's gay! Sills! :lol:lol

Looking good fez

 

[Fez_uk]

Took my better camera down today, Finished off cutting the right side sill off after getting more cutting discs. Left middle body mount will need re-doing, Right side where the footwell meets the sill also needs a small patch but it's right on the side and a pain in the ass to get too with the disc cutter. These are the easy bits, The back end is more rotten.

Left side:


Right side:


Sadly I slipped while poking rust and cut my thumb, so went home early.

The chassis looks solid
