Couldn’t sleep so decided to read over this start to finish again… I think my favourite page is #12?

Anyway, I wasn’t going to add pics until I’d finished what I came to do and headed back to Bendigo but I’m here now so may as well.
We finished off welding everything that is pictured today. It’s not yet been cleaned up. Tomorrow/today I’ll be making up a few more bits to extend that back section under where the rear seat starts to join the chassis to the sill. Besides that, the rear floor is rolled up ready to go in. Were just waiting on the new wheels so we can work how much more needs to be cut from the inner door. We’ll probably end up chopping a section out and lifting it up a few inches & installing a smaller lock mech. After that’s done the tubs will be rolled up and it’ll all be pieced together

Nice .

Thank Trev

A few more pics during creation...

Also, the 22's are gone!.. Sold them last week. This is what's coming in place of them, for now. Same rolling diameter on the rear Just before anyone says " I told you so"

These wheels

With these tyres 285/65 rear 205/70 front

Like these wheels alot more, good move.

what a shame nobodies gunna really see all that work, i love all that neat fab type work
no told you so's from me it was never about the rolling diameter that i didn't like and as long as yor happy that's all that matters no matter which wheels you use

Looking very good kiid spot on , nice fab work will come up a treat

Make sure you keep your build up photos for your engineer to see. There's some damn fine professsional workmanship gone into this build, I'm sure an engineer would be happy to inspect this one when the time comes. .

fantastic build, but the new wheels will make it even better

Best EK in Australia now

Page 12 is a cracker

Its great gettitng to see all the fab work being done and even better with the rim change But either way it will turn heads when finished (whether it had the wires or not) as the engineering going into it is top notch.

Time for an update on the original photoshopped pic?

By the way you will have tyre flex now ,Big Bird will be so pleased.

Just maybe Harko, just maybe...

Thanks everyone for the words. I think the new wheels will look grouse. Tho, I'm still keen on the wires in a 20. They're just cost close to the dark side of 3k for the ones I want. Less shipping from the states, less tyres ... Maybe later down the track I'll order some.

Not too sure on the colour now. I will stick with the red int but I'm now thinking of keeping the wheels that black colour. Painting the body Gun grey and the fb flash and roof black?...

Has anyone had black chroming work done to anything? Or know who does it in Vic?

Maybe try Modern Plating. They've been advertising on C31 think they are in Oakleigh.

Nice work..... the black steelies look grouse how tall are they in that photo?
