How's it going guys??

I am relatively new to the site although, i have posted a few threads here and there, mostly to pick ya'll's grey matter.

My build thread is the one in the link below.

To save you from reading it all, the plan is roughly:

get given a 1980 Hilux 2wd -- check.

The rest is in planning and learning stages as it sits.

I would like:

* 1uzfe N/A
* w58 box
* Diff to suit (ex MA70 supra or sc300 soarer)
* 4-link setup -- McDonald's Bros Racing
* C-Section fabricated and 4-Link installed (c/overs)
* Update/strengthen front suspension or even modernize it (c/overs)
* Modular exhaust system -- for mechanical access reasons ;P
* Remote fuel tank -- maybe disguised as a tool box or something??

There'll be more as i go... those who have actually put time into building a car understand why I say that

Aside from that, not a great deal that isn't aesthetic (panel and paint etc).

I have been picking some people's brains on here but it seems to be pretty slow goings on here... maybe not too many savvy visitors? I don't know.

Before now, i built up a Mazda 808 Sedan, did the rotary thing, thought i would give the v8 thing a go. See how it goes i guess

Anyway, I am being hounded by my wife to feed her so... I will be off for now. Look forward to meeting you guys in time and having a chat.

See yas round.

As soon as there is some progress, they'll be pics.

 

Waiting for progress is a poor excuse for not providing pics. Let us see what you're starting with.

Welcome!
