aight i'll hook up a time to look at it.. such a pity u don't have the ute regoed i somehow need to get another sheet of steel..

[SLO-030]

Ben might be able to pick it up in his tonner?

[greenmac80]

hmm he doesn't seem that way inclined jst likes my money lol. reckon it'd fit in bens ute?

[SLO-030]

Doubt you'll get it in the new-lux. Maybe on the old-lux

[greenmac80]

dang he jst sold it...

[SLO-030]

Ghey. where are you getting the sheet thru? maybe they can cut in in half for you?

[SLO-030]

Or the roof racks on the 82. would be a sight to see

ok fuel tank design finalised and i am picking up the steel tomorrow.. so will have some progress pics up soon... need to buy another sd card adaptor lost the old one.

[greenmac80]

ok pic dump..

i'll start off with my power window conversion.. not completely finished i still need to sheet it and make a new door trim.

 

 

remove all that

make up a frame and stitch it in.

 

 

massive speaker... heavy but is rated at 200wrms..

next is spare wheel well...

 

cut this

 

trace it onto this

 

and i jst use about 30 stainless rivets plenty strong will be bracing it through the top support a false floor

to hide ALL wiring.

 

and old stereo... downsizing quite abit and making much much neater..

next is my rear water outlet

 

stock thermostat still being used. awesomeness.

 

 

[greenmac80]

now onto my console.. i've mounted guage pipe in it angled up and pointing towards the driver.

also plated a bottom poscket out to allow for 4 power window switches..

also had a mate airbrush it before i painted it well cleared it..

 

 

then after sanding etcetc..

 

 

then clear.

 

then after this i decided to give airbrushing a go myself and this is my first attempt hasn't been cleared though..

 

 

[greenmac80]

ok so here is the start of the boot anyone can do this kinda crap took me only 2hrs to get this far.

 

welded in some braces to give some clearance for wiring and also will be adding in some bits to attach the floor to it to give the floor the strength back

after cutting the wheel well out.

 

obviously this is extreme for my case but for a stock boot jst use some mdf to space it up a bit.

 

 

then make templates out of cardboard trace and cut... i wanted to do this in 2 pieces but i had no way of getting a sheet big enough home. so 3 pieces..

on its fixed + underlay+ carpet you'll never know..

 

the make more templates etc.

 

i will be doing more on this during the week and i'll keep the pics coming.. once done it'll look pretty good.

[oh what a nissan feeling!]

cool, console turned out awesome, so shiny!

[greenmac80]

cheers mate... i plan on doing quite alot more like that,... steering shroud pillar plastics and i also plan to install some panels painted like that into my new door trims.

 

decided to get right int airbrushing.. i have a decent quality gun on the way and i have some spare sheet for panels.. i have a compressor jst need

to go to the hobby shop and buy some colours..

been spending quite a lot of time on the net watching videos to get techniques really excited to do it.
