pajero truggy pic heavy

[cossack]

after a smooth and easy deal with scooby i ended up with his pajero truggy





so i thought to myself it maybe needs a a re-build and maybe a change so after a few weeks waiting and collecting bits it all starts here

fresh back from the powder coaters ;)











it is anthrecite and i think it makes a change from black

next was sorting out all the bits





















not a bad collection B)

so thought i would make a start tonight and here is what i have done so far

motor fitted







rear shocks and lower links upper links and axle all fitted









thats all for now folks stayed tuned as there is still a long way to go :woohoo:



more to follow and still lots to do

That truggy chassis looks great! Like seeing half cabs with tubes! Nice job on it.

You are showing a few shocks in the pics, what ones are you going to use? What are the blue buggy shocks with boots? What length?

[cossack]

to be honest i cant remember what shocks as they came with it but i think they are HaBAO hyper ones

well had a few more hours on it tonight so time for a few more pics

still lots to do

enjoy

front axle links and shocks and bumper









now with wheels and tyres (cheers dale)





body on (not finished yet)





now for front cage









and of course the srticulation shots ;)





and finally rubber arch trim to fit the cage (cheers mr walker)

Looks neat!

[cossack]

well i was a bit bored today so thought i would give something a try





still need tidying up and then work out what hinges to use and how to seat them

this was a pain to do as the grill is attatched to the shell unlike the hilux

but happy with it so far

thats all for now

[sweli]

Looks great!!
How is the upper exo held on? Did I see screw points behind the front bumper?

[cossack]

it bolts through the plate on the cage at the bottom of the doors and then through the body to the rock sliders

i hope this makes sense

[cossack]

now i have to work out how is going to be best to re-fit

right i am looking for help now to re-mount it

i tried to use hinges but cant find a way of doing this with out trimming the bonnet like on a real car but dont really want to mess it up

so if anybody has any ideas please shout up

cheers ian

[Jimger]

great looking start I'll be watching this setup.

[cossack]

well folks more was done today but not by me i just supplied the coffee



















then it was taken from me

so thats it for now till it returns

[cossack]

well folks the shell returned from the bodyshop and assembly began a big thank you to dave who done most of the assembly

was a right pain to get the bits in and on but i think its worth it

here's the pics





























hopefully get it finished tomorrow and also get some lights in it

cheers ian

[cossack]

well folks here goes i think i have got it to where i want it now so thought i would post these before it gets all dirty















still have the light kit to fit and work out how and where to do the rears

really pleased with the way this has turned out and hope it runs aswell as it looks

thought i would weigh it before i use it and it comes in a at a whopping 3.7kg i just hope everything hold out

and 1 last thing i have changed the electrics to a tekin rs with losi 17.5 crawler motor with a slightly larger rotor the stock 1 s 13.5 to give better lower end control

still need to fit some more accesories but plenty of time for that
