Looking good Andy. Whilst this is apart are you upgrading the half shafts or the diffs to take the extra torque? ( you might have already but too many pages to re-read to find out). Just wondering.

mcma1,...Jeez, there's some awesome stuff going into your vehicle.
Probably the best build I've seen on this Forum.
Actually, having seen what you've done/are doing, I don't think a Supercharger is beyond you by any means,....it would be a very simple extension of the MASSIVE amount you have already achieved.
Again, WELL DONE.
Pickles.

Cheers, Ashcroft are building a rear P38 diff with ATB, spacer ring. And then HD shafts and flanges. Just HD front shafts and flanges. Andy

I've got one as well. I also got Ashcroft to peg the rear diff. Not sure if it makes much difference given my usage, but while they were doing it...

After a good and detailed scrub I have now applied the Buzzweld RCP, to be honest the under side was is pretty good shape so I have concentrated on the chassis legs and any welds etc, also did the axles and suspension areas.

Next is the CIO with the air gun, I tried a small area at the back and I am happy, the Matt black finish is great.

Looking great and again attention to detail, I like the fuel filler cap (might as well be a nice thing to touch, it will be open a lot) Rolling with laughter



It really is all coming together, well done
