Thread: Project Dancing Hippo

Its certainly come a long way Adam! Its looking good!

I reckon you should bobtail it.

There will be no bobbing of tails around here!


Originally I was going to cut the chassis back to behind the back wheels, but once I started I realised the tray is very short already and I need to fit a couple of boxes and the spare wheel up there.

Wow, look at that thing...you really did a good job with it.

I have done this because the way the window mounted was very messy and I reckon this neatens everything up a bit.

Cummon, dont mess around with me, you are causing enough trouble on another thread!

Stop hinting at things and just come ou and say it. If you are trying to say that there is not much difference in photo's from 1 year ago then you would be mistaken.
Yes they look similar, but between those photo's the entire car was stripped down to a bare chassis, including all suspension and axles and diffs removed and dissasembled. The motor was completely rebuilt and then the entire car was put back together, but this time with LRA extended shock mounts, LRA body lift, maxidrive axles and rear diff, maxidrive front axles and ARB locker all running 4.11's. The auto has had all new seals and gaskets installed, as has the transfercase. The inside of the vehicle was completey gutted and all excees wiring removed and is now almost finished being rewired. Seats are at trimmers being retrimmed. Rust in floor was cut out and new pieces welded in. All doors were removed and repaired as necessary (they were not closing properly) and then put back on.

ANYTHING else you would like to say.

I am not saying a thing, just thought it was worth comparing the vehicle from a year ago. Some people are obviously a little touchy. I will try and remember to post this years pictures when you post the update in October next year.
