Good project ... though one thing I would look at is if the fuel tank is connected to the body or chassis. |
I have already checked that - its connected to the chassis so it shouldn't be a problem |
Good lad ... dont forget the steering column as well _________________ 1990 Isuzu Bighorn LWB Mk.I 2.8TD Manual Lotus Edition

Hello
Yesterday i was fighting with bolts mounting body on the frame. It wasn't easy considering amount of rust on them.. I had to cut off one of it. That was a good news bad news is that : brake line nuts are so rusty that its impossible to undo them. I will have to cut them off and make new copper brake lines. I will be changing rubber brake pipes so now i will have everything new I disconnected everything in engine bay except steering column i will not forget about it Rhanagar ! will do it rommotow
this one lost his head
this is how most of the things in this car looks like
wooden stick is very helpful
without radiator
empty engine bay
I hope tomorrow i will end up with this part of restoration and i will start working with the frame |

Thanks guys this pictures will stay forever !
I had to move to my garage becuase its raining for 3 days now. I removed engine, geabox, power steering, exhaust and fuel tank. Now i only have to drop front and rear axle. The problem is that front axle screw are so fuc#in tight and rusty i've lost a key already... i will have to cut them off but there is not enough of space But i will do that somehow . Here You can see how it looks like right now.
i will have to replace this rusty tubes.

I thought at first you would just be taking the bumpers off and painting them or something, taking the whole body off is crazy, definitely enjoying your updates.
And here is me putting off taking the rear bumper off incase I break something, haha. |

If you are not careful there will be a queue of people wanting you to re-furbish their Troopers! |
