Jonnos HQ one tonner project... is back... sort of...

[vk.jonno]

so from where i left off..
brought it about 1 year ago... i think it was the 20somethingth's
thought the project was scrapped and we were getting rid of it so i removed the thread.
but now dads had a sudden change of plans..eh
pictures.....

DECONSTRUCTION

we replaced this whole section of the car with the side of a doner car.. had photos.. cant find them though lol..
believe it or not the other side was fine lol.. looks like alot of dogy body work to me tho...

that brings us to this week.
it had been sitting out in the weather for months probobly.. so me and my mate rolled it back into the garrage and started to pull it apart to rub back
our brand new brake disks were covered in surface rust and the valipers were looking just as ****
i think we score some new calipers so thats a bonus
so during the week i rubbed it back and we re sprayed the chasssis
then today we fitted the engine and box to the chassis..

so the todo list from now on in is:

Fit new diff
get custom tailshaft made up
Rub back body and spray
rub back all other pannels and spray
fit to chassis.
re wire the entire car
design custom dash (including interior)
get interior made up
build tray
get a road worthy check to see what we need to fix
get it regod
