Thanks guys . Just have had the motivation blues the last few weeks . The only news i have is the roof top has been sanded back ready for primer . Might get ANOTHER packet of rivets and finish putting the tub strips in on the weekend .

Gday wannalandy, thats a nice looking rebuild you've got there. I am doing a S3 LWB FFR and putting a holden 173 in it (I may swap the 202 out of my short wheel base at some stage) I have done the casis in mat black kill rust and also all the exposed steel components. I was wondering what shockies you used on your rig as I have to get a set for mine. My rig has the standard military lift shackles and the military leaf springs. I also like the Range Rover wheels and tyres you put on your rig and I wasnt aware that they woud fit (Im new at this rebuilding game!)

Hi there
just went through your thread it looks great top job!!
don't give up!!

CHEERS TIM.

The shockies are pedders gas ryders and the front ones are for a tojo hilux with 2 inch lift and the rear are nissan patrol with 2 inch lift . with all new rubbers and the steering damper i paid $715 for the lot . to be honest i would stick with the 173 as the 202's are known for floating pistons with a lot of revving . The wheel stud pattern is the same as early range rovers and discovery 1 wheels so i found out early on in this project .

Whats this 'MIGHT' business Mick Might is a non commital word so let me re-phrase that sentence.... I WILL get another packet of rivets and I WILL finish putting the tub strips in on THIS weekend.

When you HAVE finished, I WILL see a photo of the finished work won't I Mick.
