Latest of yesterday, after final installation of engine mounts, gear box mount and power pump installation:

the power pump position yet need to be re attended as it seems that its too close to front diff and might hit the diff in big bumps, but the engine level is great and its nicely aligned in all directions:

Zabardast - Mashallah your project is going very nice.
I am glad you didn't waste time and money in 2F.
If you don't mind please pm me for 3b and 5 fwd price and source.
Regards,

Thank you sir - you are right that I haven't wasted time in building 2F but unfortunately i was a little more (i would not say stupid :P) inexperient that i built Toyota L (2200cc diesel) engine for it

which obviously had to thrown away after its first road test was seriously under powered actually.

3B was not available anywhere in lahore but eventually after a quest of one month, i was lucky to find a junkyard owner in bilal gunj who was about to cut an accidented bj73/74 and agreed to sell its engine and gear to me so i got them from him

PMed you the purchase price

Nice and when do we get to drive this beauty

machine (machine) 2011-11-11 07:31:47 +0500 #116

Boss i am pushing hard to get her on road for a test drive by the end of this month so that i can at least taste the new engine and tranny - As far as completion of project is concerned yet there is a long wish list to be done

You might get a chance to ride her if you are coming here by the end of this month.

BTW - when are you visiting?

isiddique (isiddique) 2011-11-27 00:05:37 +0500 #117

How you doing bro? haven't had any update from you for a while.
I hope your 3B with 5fwd is going well. Do update - Regards,

machine (machine) 2011-11-27 03:32:51 +0500 #118

All well here bro - apologies for not updating as i usually visit workshop after sunset so couldnt get good pics. project is going with a good pace, engine, tranny, drive shafts, silencer, power steering all is done - though yet not tried it on / off road

Todays status - Paint ground is being prepared for newly fabricated roll cage, doors and bull bars.

Engine is also ready and teasted without a test run - New dilemma is either to keep the electronics on 24 or at 12 Volts - Though both self starters / alternators are available in stash but seems that we'll have to convert it to a 24volt set up as the existing 12volt battery (despite new and of 100amps pwer) seems little under powered for self starter.

Color Decision:

Roll Cage: Yellow
Seats Foundation Cage: Yellow.
Half Doors: Yellow
Front & Rear Bull Bars: Metallic Silver Grey.
Jerry Cane & Bracket: Metallic Silver Grey.
Head Lights Grill: Metallic Silver Grey.
Side Foot Boards: Metallic Silver Grey.
Glove Compartment & Speedo Meter: Metallic Silver Grey.
Side Mirrors Bars: Metallic Silver Grey.
