My project 90 rebuild

Bit of an update, done some work on the doors, the bottoms were completely shot, plus you can see the mod by a previous owner to keep the glass up !!

I cut out the rusty frame work on the bottom

Then welded in a new repair section

I also treated the glass to a new runner on the bottom

Also in the process of making a pair of rock sliders out of 40mm x 80mm x 4mm box section, just in the process of fabricating the fixing brackets, more pics to follow on these

Thats a pukka build you got going on there. nice work. i actually quite like that colour, as long as you contrast it out with black modulars and black chequre plate. what size are those tyres?

I'm very lucky to have the workshop, we rent grazing and stables for our horses, and I have a 20' x 60' barn included in with it

Thanks for your comments everybody, not sure what to do about the colour. The quality of the paint finish isn't great and I'm thinking of G4 orange with black chequer plate, rock sliders etc. I'm going to wait until the weather warms up before I respray her, ideas on colours please lol

Had a play with the rock sliders today, had to go and buy a 38mm hole cutter so I could make holes for the jacking points

I turned some tubes up in the lathe as couldn't find anything suitable

ImageUploadedByTapatalk1359141336.418966.jpg

Then welded them into the rock slider

Excellent

Excellent Thread, ive enjoyed reading through it..

Offshiftproject · Feb 6, 2013

Well I ordered some Veltrim and high temp spray adhesive off the bay, I must admit I'm impressed with it, it gives a good finish ! The previous owner has decided to poorly paint the interior of my 90 with household white gloss paint, so my plan is to cover as much as possible, plus it'll help with noise and condensation etc. you'll see I have put some 6 x 9 speakers in the bulkhead behind the seats, as previous owner had hacked out some round holes for speakers and it looked terrible.

Also have located some hard top sides as wanted some without windows, didn't like the look of the old ones

ImageUploadedByTapatalk1360147943.206180.jpg

And have put the seats in too

Can I have ideas what to do with the white footwells please ? Carpet them, paint them black, or a combination of the 2 ? They look pants like they are

not sure where you would buy it brand new but these bits would cover it up and reduce cab noise

Unfortunately it's already gone mate, somebody snapped it up on the bay. If I get to hear of any more I'll let you know
