ok, well the flat deck is 2/3 done, i have fitted my mondeo fans to my stock radiator. i'll have to look into a diesel or b2600 radiator... as this one will not cut it above 100kpa... modified the coolant line to line up with the radiator and not look like a periscope. thought up a design for the tail lights and such.
welded in a driveshaft restraint ring. filled the gearbox with oil. drove it out onto the road, turned it around, and drove it back in, all on the starter. the tight lsd was chunking like it was welded. and i managed
to hook 2nd gear!! :-)
theres a bit of room on my desk now. on night this week i'll be wiring up my ms and bench testing it for cop operation if i can suss out how to trigger it for that.
its great to see it looking like a truck again with the flat deck taking shape!!
i'm gunna make the battery and fuel supports damn strong. also the tail light assembly will be "jap car proof" all in aid of more weight to the back, and lower tail light bills when i brake test tail gaters.
no photos uploaded yet.
tomorrow night is finish the 36-1 adaptation. get it ready to fit to the pulley and then figure out where i wanna mount the sensor, and angle the wheel correctly relative to that.
fred.
