Hey mate, I've just re read your post through a web browser. I was currently looking at it on Tapatalk and it wasn't showing the text in your last post. I didn't realise you were blasting the frame and replacing the lines, rubbers etc. Great to hearG60michael wrote:Hey tim, can you shed some light as what you mean by cutting corners.
plans are to sandblast chassis, repair x-member prep and prime.
restore brakes, new wheel cylinders hoses and steel lines ect.
Not rebuilding diffs or engine

And body will be blasted pannel beated rust cut out and re sprayed. New hardware all round underneath to look mint once done. I was hoping have it done by new year, not possible but when it does get done it'll be perfect

You've got the GQ to tow anything. It serves no purpose as a recovery point so I'd lop it off!

Well, mostly all done, time for the chassis toughing up now, a few nicks with the grinder but nothing too deep
weld her up and grind it back and will be better then new, cheers mike (Y)
