The Windscreen was just clear plastic cut to shape

The interior was custom made it's got everything in it and it's great.

You name it it's in there, took ages.

What u want is a TT01 with some rally blocks, raz the nuts off of it.

Or get a TL01, Put some XC tyres on it and a big motor in it. Stick on a landy shell and wala, U can join me in pajero thrashing with my toerag

Are you in the right thread? Lost me with this one?

Well Spotted that man!

He's a 7 1/2 inch static figure from Forbidden Planet in London cost me 2.50!!

He's had some surgery he now has no feet so i have to change gear for him!

The Girl in my other Build is from the same range, and she will be driving the Ford.

I couldn't find an original for sensible money so had to look else where.

Back to the job in hand, have you seen the bed pictures?

Will this be ok?

[ryanbored]

Yup- Seen the bed and it looks great- Anychance of having that painted black? (no worries if not) Not worried about posts in the bed, but If you can get away with a clean bonnet that would be awesome too. And to save you trouble on the paint showroom shiney is fine too.

And how did you get on with the possibility of a roll bar?

And can you believe those driveshafts cost 40?!

I have Black paint, it will have a smooth hole free bonnet (promise)

Rollbar, have you got one? i have the clod one but it has no spots on it now. Could mod it abit?

40.00 i would have used scorcher uj's and some metel tube myself. (cheaper)

[ryanbored]

Maybe a simple hoop? Not too worried about spots as I can do that, just a fairly chunky hoop just sticking up abouve the roof?

Will see what's in my ever emptying box.

Got some ally tube left over from my cage. Will see what i can come up with.

[dready]

More Progress, did the supports for the front bumper.

Finally got the Prop shafts from Ryan. Fit a treat, but i did wind him up and tell him they didn't fit. ($40.00 must be mad!)

So all the electrics are now in and mounted.

Have got to make a Brush Guard for the underneath, the one supplied isn't up to the job and it's also too short.

Ryan Asked me to make him a Rollbar. I Tried I failed. and i'm not showing you the pics!!

Ryan we need a Hi-lift Rollbar it's easier and it will look better.

So WANTED Hi-lift Rollbar or the New Hilux one.

Please.

is that a pede gearbox?

and how would you have done those drive shafts? i need some and im busy making the dogbones but i wanna make sliders, but as you know im on a budget... any cheap way of doing it?

When i said a bit of pipe it was a bit vague.

You can make sliders relatively cheaply using parts from other cars.

What you need is the following to make a pair.

4 scorcher uj's these were put on lots of cars and are quite easy to get hold of.

Two of these T028 Schumacher Female Driveshafts. These were found on the cougars/ bosscats/procats again easy to find

Two of these T027 Schumacher Male Driveshafts. These were found on the cougars/ bosscats/procats again easy to find

If you Drive the Brass pin out of the scorcher uj (keep it you'll need it) you can join this half to the schumacher ends and drive the pin back in.

Do this on all four ends of the Scumacher Driveshafts and you'll have 2 sliders.

Hope this makes sense and that i haven't lost you completely!

Best pics of the parts i could find.

Yes it is the gearbox from a Stampede.
