Well I hit friday night pretty hard but managed to pull myself out of bed and get into town to buy more shielding gas before the place shut at mid-day.

Borrowed this beast from a mate for today, Cuts through like butter. Could of done with a 2nd pair of hands to line it all up but managed it in the end!

Didn't do anything on it today except measuring a few things and making plans in my head what stage to do next. Not long before I start the rear cage hoop. Just need to sort what tubing I will use, Hope to use CDS tube and will see if the local steel supplier does it.

Need to decide now if I will body lift it, Either 1" or 2" so will do some more measuring. Can't go too high due to the low roof in the shed. It will help with front tyre clearance, mounting rock sliders and maybe in the future rear rad.

Both sills on, Drivers side which I did after the passenger side looks much better and went alot easier!

Passenger:


Driver:




Door slightly lower than sill, but will be protected by big hefty rock sliders! :naughty



Front body is now attached to chassis:

Bigger the better they say, go for a 2" lift if you'll get away with it

Actually no, not much point going higher if it's not needed. Keep the COG low as possible, although body lift does not effect it as much as a susp lift.

2" body lift arrived today aswell as the 2" CDS tubing for the roll cage hoop and rear stays :naughty

Youre gonna be busy over christmas then:thumb2

 

[Fez_uk]

Dammit he's sent 3" spacers ahhhhh!

 

[Fez_uk]

Well managed to get all 6 cut down ok by 1" so will probably continue the body lift boxing day or after.

This is the tubing that's going to be used for the rollcage, mmm seamless.

Just spent the last 4 or so hours making mounting plates for the roll cage hoop, made them the wrong size!!!

 

[Fez_uk]

Went back today to re-do them

Went a little better

 

[Barrbeast]

Looking solid bud!

 

[Fez_uk]

Tacked to the chassis, As per usual I forgot my decent camera!!

These were more of a nightmare then you would think!! Just need welding to the chassis now!!
