Re: Jordi's 1988 Samurai Build
I want to chop the bumper down to chassis width and put angled struts on to support the wheel arch. Just gotta get some cheap tube or 20mm box section from somewhere.

I want it just to be tyres from the back Tom. Think it'll look brutal. I need to get a new fuel tank for it too to make use of the space better.turbo-tom wrote:Yeah would look pretty cool i think the 33's look proper awesome from behind. did they catch at all?
Tubes / box section frame with cheque plate top and a fold up lid. Fuel tank inside and storage for recovery equipment, tools and fluids.
Just gotta get some more cash together and i think chromo shafts / full float are more of a priority now.
That would be awesome Dan! Cheers

Re: Jordi's 1988 Samurai Build
I like that - I like it a lot! Looks like it should have a 5th wheel up there on the back! And I know you want tyres from the back but don't you think would some big rubber floor length flaps would look good? Like a Dakar rally car....Jordi wrote:Check out my ass

Personal preferance Luke. I want there to be as little as possible to rip off / bend sticking out past the tyres.Tramp wrote:I like that - I like it a lot!
