Hey bro this is one killer build, you've got a great eye for detail. I wouldn't have even thought this thing started out as a pajero. I got my eyes on this, maybe I will learn some tricks Keep up the great work.

Thanks again everyone..

Getting to the point where I am going to tear it all down for paint and powder coat.

I had to sort out body mounts first, the rear was easy, I drilled a couple holes, and welded a pair of m3 nuts to the rear bumper mount.


The front took a little more head scratching. I was using the front glass mount to hold the dash to the body, and noticed how close it was to the fire wall.

So I made a set of tabs and bonded them to the firewall, now the front of the body, and the dash all mount in the same spot.







Ill probably tear it down soon and send the metal parts out for powder coat, that will give me a chance to finish up the body work for paint, and the detail work on the interior.

This thing is great. Nice job on the mounts for the firewall and interior. Looking forward to seeing the finished product.

With the chassis stripped down, and parts on its way to powder coat, I decided to tackle a simple inner cage, I made it of styrene to save on weight.

I also made the fuel cell a little smaller.
