Some progress...

Attached the winch to the front bumper



Fabricated the front skid plate, it will slide under the lower chassis plate and be held in place by two screws







Brazed together a new stinger with some M3 bar inside, it will be used to attach the bumper to the chassis









Then I modified the body to accept the winch







Front bumper was too wide, cut it down and used some epoxy putty:











Added two more screws to hold the bumper



that will slide into two holes in the front skid



Modified the front fenders





Flushed the rear door







I added two screwnuts to the front of the body that will hold it in place by sliding into a couple holes in the bumper





New servo and servo horn came in



Modified the rear fenders as well



Started opening the rear lights, will fabricate some buckets for them





Bought some PVC tubing, and with the help of a heat blower i modeled the exhaust system of my Pajero

Nice work! Any updates on this build? I'm curious to see how you mounted up that rear bumper. Looking good so far!

LOL sorry completely forgot to update this thread!!!

New servo!



Worked on the read fenders as well



Custom fabricated an aftermarket exhaust using some PVC tubing.
You can also notice I opened the rear light, plan to fabricate some light buckets







Finished removing all the old paint from the shell



Light buckets made out of styrene







Now for the light covers...I took some plexi and glued together two thick pieces



Then cut them and modeled them to fit the body





AAAAND here it is, almost ready to go!

















Time for some action pics!!!

















I only have to hook up the light system and my Jero will be completed!

Wow turned out really good!

I like your stryrene light buckets... need to make those for mine. I already cut out the lights years ago... but never made the buckets still for them.

The light system is still missing, I want to build a circuit that will let me remotely control the lights.

Currently the Pajero is being repaired after the last comp...the tracks were way too hard for the poor CC-01 chassis!

Im planning on fabricating some rock sliders and maybe a light outer cage, then having it repainted dark grey with some red details.

Default Very Cool

I dig it man. It's bling but with all the matching chassis pieces it works. My favorite part is that you've restored a busted up Pajero. Just started the restoration of my first Pajero cc01, liked it so much the next leaf sprung chassis I built I used a Pajero body again, lol.
