:lol: I`ll press on anyhow!

Petrol tank in the frame, I found that the Mitsubishi pagero 92-94 tank fits real nicely, it`s 90 ltr has a in tank pump if required and suitable for 4wd`s, funny that!
here`s the tank, it also has a stone guard, you might be able to see it! :shock:

I had to move the rear cross member, and flip it upside down, the bottom of the CM was then perfect to bolt the back of the tank to!, drilling out the bottom rivets is a pain in the @!, I found you can re-drill the new bottom holes from the top with the C/M in it`s new position with a long drill bit and holes line up! :wink:

the other C/M was taken out, turned upside down and back to front, and used the original rivet holes on top

:) Your right Chris it does look like it grew there!, some one stole the pump out of this one but that doesn't matter as I`m going with a Cleveland and carbie in this one!

Oh and I forgot to mention, I had to trim the bottom rail about 10mm or 3/8" where they widen!,

You'll have to keep us informed how the strut front end works out . Looks like you're making good progress.

DUDE!!! All your front end photos exposed backwards!! Maybe your camera settings need to be adjusted... LOL

Actually was just thinking, things must be real tight on the right side of your trucks, steering box, starter, exhaust...

Everything looks great & your not waisting any time!!!

wha.gif Chris,

Are you telling us that Alan and Lyn aren't coming to SSIV? cry.gif

Sorry to hear that Alan.

It's looking good Alan, good thing you have warm weather there, not like those of us in the snowbank.

The coil over is only there for looks at the moment!, it wont be a pretty front suspension, but they are supposed to handle great!

probably have to pull the engine if you have to drop the pan though???

Looks nice. Only concern is that it might be a bit light duty??? maybe not too....

that fuel tank is awesome...


I thought you were running propane, weren't you? got sick of that, eh?
