Serious One 10-06-2002, 09:47 PM here's some cool shiat! We got it started and ran it for 15 minutes. Alternator is noisy, being replaced, didn't drive it around yet. Not quite ready, but, it RUNS!!!!!! :flipoff2: Serious One 10-06-2002, 09:49 PM more Serious One 10-06-2002, 09:49 PM more 2 Serious One 10-06-2002, 09:51 PM more 3 Serious One 10-06-2002, 09:53 PM Painted the front of the box. We had to pull the box off to mount the fuel tanks and while it was off I painted the front of the box. I'll have the box and cab re-sprayed, but the area directly behind the cab bulkhead would be a pain, so I thought I'd spray it while the box was off. I got waaaaaay fumigated and ended up having a headache for 2 days. Ugh.

Very nice piece. It'll be Rhinolined inside and out for sound proofing. Corbeau seats mounted on sliding rails give a MUCH better seating position than stock Defender, so the flat floor and seat rails are paying off.

Lemme know your Paso Robles sched.... you may be surprised! Serious One 10-07-2002, 07:55 AM Respirator????? Hmmm, it got left in Portland! Doh! I was too cheap/stupid to get another one the day I was painting, so I have to learn to accept diminished brain function (it'll be tough) and the ensueing headache. Thanks for the pointer though! :flipoff2: Good luck on the little'un. Paso Robles schedule is to drive it to Vegas in 3 weeks. Woo HOOOOO! Anyone want to caravan? If not (I don't expect anyone to *really* want to) I'll drive over with a friend and caravan back. I don't want to go solo for it's maiden voyage. road1will 10-07-2002, 08:18 AM very, very, very nice work (as always). im lovin the flat floor. that is the nicest looking defender engine compartment ive ever seen! Serious One 10-07-2002, 10:31 AM There's more to come in my engine bay. Heater, ducting, A/C lines, winch contactor pack, yadda yadda yadda.... If you like the 350 in the crewcab then you might get a kick out of this conversion. 4.0, LT-95, 101FC bell-housing, leaf 88 frame. | |
