cool.. looks clean. earlier i reckoned rust would by ruling. good i reckoned wrong.

was the 4 x 4 working ? I am naive and can locate the transfer case in the pics.. but where is and how was the front drive shaft attached ?

can I suggest a new roll cage ? Plz plz get rid of the one that has come in 'jahez'
was this gear box resting on the stock fittings?
do these have ball joints at all ?

regards,

Mubarak Sir.... So this is the one we were talking about..

It does need work and I think you should stick to white. Good luck

Yeah there is no rust at all - following pic will give you idea of 4x4 shaft though it was missing and the 4x4 was not working. Yes i think the gear box is on the stock fitting, though engine mounts were relocated to adjust the new engine.

Pls suggest me the roll cage the current one has to go obviously rather it must have been removed today.

i wrote "ball joints" mistakenly, its actually "tie rod ends".

cheers

It was nice talking to you Saad bhai - yes its the one which we were discussing. and again YES it need alot of work to do

machine (machine) 2011-06-09 04:38:26 +0500 #25

Can anybody let me know that what is this? An electronic 4x4 transfer switch? or this is not a SSR gear box :))

Atleast it makes the vehicle hi-tech Is it working on direct connection?

machine (machine) 2011-06-10 07:56:47 +0500 #27

lolzzzz- Sir jee its a combination of technology & luxury (Tilt Steering)

As far as direct connection is concerned, I have not checked it yet

All Suspension ends replaced, brakes serviced, differentials serviced, all rubber bushings replaced, chassis painted, body painted from downside after coat of rust resistant primer and a little patch work on front foundation of body (you can see the rusted foundation in pic which is now fixed)

now body is back on chassis and denting is being done

Nice and ambitious project! I have always been inspired with such projects and really want to take up one but sadly work and studies don't permit me to do so.
IMHO, in such restorations the chassis should be sand blasted before painting. This makes them good enough to go for a few other decades without rust. Correct me if i m wrong here.

which type of under-body coating did u use? r they good for regular cars?

nOmS6 (nOmS6) 2011-06-22 16:52:21 +0500 #32

very nice !
I thought u were going with white color?
Let me suggest putting the engine and tranny on frame before putting the body on.

and more pics plz !

regards,

machine (machine) 2011-06-27 07:52:02 +0500 #33

Yeah i was going for the white but later out of the blue it turned to be yellow now the black thing you see in last pic under body tub is some rust resistant primer which my dentor has sprayed.

Yes engine and tranny is fixed before the body is placed. And please do not compare it with your level of restoration as yours was awsome with deep attention to details. Its a budget restoration

machine (machine) 2011-06-27 08:03:29 +0500 #34

yes bro you are right that ideally it should have been sand blasted but fortunately mine one was not having any thick layers of paint so after detail wash from Kerosene oil it seemed ok. So I just did painted a thin layer to give it a fresh look.

machine (machine) 2011-06-27 08:09:18 +0500 #35

Engine with tranny is back home and tub is also placed. just a minor pannel beating and now going through paint process.

Please dont worry about engine outlook because its all rebuilt from inside and now in very reliable condition, however it will be washed from outside later with new paint & polish at some of its exterior parts

Interior removed and i am surprised to see that there is no rust - No patch work required at all just cleaning and grinding the old paint off and then we may go ahead for the paint.

Though all bolts need to be replaced as they become so rusty and the previous owner has sprayed layers of paint on all nut bolts.

have a look after initial wash and removal of interior.
