FFT with bright future

Ok , i thought i better share a few pics with you guys . I'm still going to make the old girl look army but want it to stand out . So instead of the army green i have chosen kermit green. I'll be putting all the army markings on . I'll have a few changes done like , a hard top , holden 186 , station wagon rear tank , series 3 speedo , rangie wheels with 32x11.5x15's and a barn door on the rear .

So far i have completely stripped to a bare chassis . Got the chassis welded up in a couple of spots and have hand painted it with kill rust . Put all new bushes in and have retensioned the springs and is now 2 inches taller than army spec. I purchased a donor landy off dolphint and have used the bulkhead out of that to get the FFT heading in the right direction . These pics are where i am right now but plan on getting a lot done this week ( hopefully

) . I'll post some more pics later in the week

G'day Wannalandy

With a 2" lift to the original Military springs, don't be suprised if the front tailshaft rubs on the X member, and at full spring extension the tailshaft locks up from the Universals binding,and it rubbing on the crossmember, that is why the Parabolic springs can't be fitted to Aust Military 2 and 2a's without using special open type universals like those used in UK on trials coil sprung vehicles.

cheers

Ok , small update on whats going on . yesterday and today i have been cleaning the engine and removing a few things to get it ready for painting

. I finally got the little donk half painted as i still need to do the sump , rocker cover and all the add on bits . I have painted the engine in a magenta color to go with the theme of the Green Goblin in which my 2a beasty is named . so the engine looks a little bright

in the photo as i took the pic with the flash but it is alot more purple than the pic shows

. I'm hoping to have a few seals by the end of this week and have the heart put in

. More pics soon
