ive been on here for a while and i think its about time i made a build thread

Any way, here it is..

The day i bought it home





Removed stickers off the side and the ferall ladder racks!





Im pretty certain it had lowered springs in the front and it looked really bad with the back sitting so high, so i got myself a set of 2" blocks




Chucked some AutoTech racing seats in it and 2 fusion Encounters



Ran into some trouble a few weeks ago after i dropped a ball joint




Bit of fun to see how low i could get it


replaced the ball joints and put new shoes on her!




Got some new headlights



with 300,000 kms on the clock it was only a matter of time until the motor gave in so after blowing out the oil gallery side of the heads it was time to remove the motor






and thats where im at so far, got the new motor on the way and im looking forward to doin more work to it while its off the road, and this is also my first project car so i have little to no experience so any tips and suggestions are appreciated
thanks guys

Very nice truck. Always wanted the extra room behind the drivers seat as well as the look of the extra cab. What you got going in the truck?

Thanks dude, yeh the space cab bit is awesome lol, best thing ever invented in my opinion. Just got a standard motor goin in it, I found a reconditioned 4g54 for $600 so putting that in this week and also pulling out the rear leafs to get reset

What was the Plate beside your license plate that had a P on it?

over here in aus, we have different licensing stages, for the first year we have a Learners permit or 'L's', Where we can only drive when a fully licensed driver is in the passenger seat and may only sit the second stage of our license after completing 120 hours of this

After our first year and 120 hours we sit a driving test to get our Provisional 1 or 'P's' which is when the 'P' plate is red and we are restricted to drive certain cars and must not exceed a 90km/h speed limit. We arnt aloud to drive v8's, turbo's, or supercharged, also the 'red P's' is often a big target for cops and if we are caught speeding once its 3 month suspension. Also you arnt aloud more than one passenger after 11pm

After a year on our Red P's, we sit a computer test for our Green P's or Provisional 2, same car restricitons except the P plates are green, we can get caught speeding twice and we are limited to 100km/h and we can have as many passengers as we want anytime lol

After 2 years on our green P's, we sit another test for our Full licence or "blacks' where we can drive what we want, we are not speed restricted and are not targeted by police anymore lol

we also get fined if our 'P plates' are not displayed

some real bullshit laws lol

Really strict laws. Do people steal the small plates? I figure to get less hassle or something.

haha yeh the plates always get stolen, but they are free so its all good and you can get as many as you want

Another update, wooooo
