"The rusty-nail" build

[ektoz]

Finallly got all the important stuff to get the build started,
parts i have now is:
-a junked SJ410 (still working tho)
-1986 nissan patrol axles and modded shafts
- korando leaf-springs (similar than the YJ)
- few Bushing
- lots of steel

going to chop shop








The rear axle will be mounted exactly tha way it sits now, need to make
some brackets aiming longer wider car expecially on front






front axle



now let's start welding that shitty zooki

What's the blue one outside?

[Jordi]

Looks interesting

[Cyprus Geoff]

I will let Chris tell you the full story but as well as patrol axles, the blue one has a 1.6 16v turbo!
Good luck with the build Chris, it is going to be a great rig when finished.

did some progress today,
removed the stock leaf mount and i welded further back 25cm and higher on the shassis
for low center of gravity and longer wheelbase. i may go 30cm on front i will see,
here some pics







wheels are only for the build will change them when i finish



its not sitting on the wheels in the pics because i dont have shackles yet, hopefully will sit lower
i hope i have time to work next week , this thing is getting me like Meth

[kiwizook]

is that a swb body on a lwb chassis, or have you just extended the chassis?

[ektoz]

no its not a long wheel base i extended the chassis back and i will more on front,
all my frends have a long wheelbase zukis (like the blue in the picture) and handle way better
than the short one, i like more the short one better with the axles sticking out of the frame i will
also make it a tuber

[Jordi]

This is gonna be an awesome looking build. Is it gonna be road legal?

[ektoz]

Thanks Jordi, this will be not a road legal zuk i have the red one on my avatar that is road legal, i always wanted to do a moab tuber zuki
