Hilux

The steering column is now all tacked in, still a few brackets to add but its mostly finished, the unis to the rack are all finalised which is just another job to tick off the sheet of hundreds.

Ive been busy on the ute build this week, theres limited room in garage to move but i manage to make progress.

This Oz-Truck that was at TopGear live gave me a few ideas, it got me thinking about taking a mould of a hilux and doing a 1 piece FRP body. Maybe i can borrow this guys mould?

I havnt done a thing on the ute this week, mainly because the 180SX was being used and needed some love but theres been one major thing holding the ute up. The indecision in my mind to change or stay ...

After running out of tube again (i really underestamated how much i was going to need) the shed needed a clean so it was time to push the ever expanding spaceframe on the jig out of the shed.

Its been a notching nightmare, im happy its only a few bars of being finished. Next week will mean a lot of work, the chassis will be seperated from the jig, bodyshell and driveline and fully welded.

46 meters of tube has been added to make a complex, rigid and strong chassis that will be the backbone of this creation. Theres still a few meters to go but i can see the finish line!
