It'll be a shame to buy all that paint when you're only going to abandon the project a few months down the track!

Post by **60 mad** » Mon Dec 10, 2007 3:38 pm

I'd rather make an mq for alpine challenge so i don't smash the 60, but that would be after i get the 60 goin. As for starting the 60 project im waiting untill i build up some stuff to put on it, so i can get a lot done in one hit but i can't wait untill the 9 inch comes out

60's are crap anyway, best cruiser made is a 75 series mate, 60's are a money pit, sell it mate. buy a 75 and you wont have to worry about the paint cause it will look good anyway

Post by **rob lawrence** » Wed Dec 12, 2007 4:09 pm

money pits? mine prob owes me 10 grand. does alright. stock 75s arent great either. crap approach and departure and just as much work to make em flex. i may be pushing shit uphill but at least its a little different.

Post by **60 mad** » Wed Dec 12, 2007 4:34 pm

Any 4by is a money pit if you want it 2 be. Im going for a 60 because they aren't like gq's (every second person has got one). Are you sure you drive a yota coz you sound like a whingeing pommy Land rover driver no offence.

Post by **MYTANK** » Wed Dec 12, 2007 4:50 pm

sell it mate!. buy something already painted then you wont have to worry. 60's look like poo anyway no matter what colour..
no offence mate

Thanks for your opinion, but i think your pretty much the only person on the forum who thinks that.

Running Gear on the 60's and 75's are very similar, i actually think the 60's diff's are wider (Possibly stronger).

They shared the same motors, 2H e.t.c.

So.... i'm not sure why you think they are crap, when infact they share alot of parts, and please by all means correct me if i'm wrong.

Dan

Oh and by the way, i think you should paint it either orange with green bumpers, or a camo (say an artic or digital camo)

Post by **60 mad** » Wed Dec 12, 2007 5:20 pm

I am starting to lean towards a flouro orange with elec green, what you's think. As for 75/60 running gear 60's have wider and stronger diff's, same 2h diesel's so cruiser_ 89 if your goin to bag others, make sure you have evidence to back your self up.

Post by **rob lawrence** » Wed Dec 12, 2007 6:35 pm

so anyhow, did u say your gonna dual cab it or single cab? its a bit tougher to make them look right as a dual cab cause the rear door extends so far back over the rear axle. wit the right tray though..... cant wait to see some pics

Post by **60 mad** » Wed Dec 12, 2007 7:59 pm

Im going an xtra cab look like Jason wilemans red 60. Can't wait next prob 2 solve is 12ht or 350/gen 3.

Post by **MYTANK** » Wed Dec 12, 2007 8:11 pm

Extra Cab Will be cool.

Check out this 60, found him on my way home and took a few pics.

Dan

P.S.

12HT's are expensive.. although they are awesome motors i've been looking for one and they are as rare as hen's teeth.

I think a LS1 would be the way to go, easy to mod for alot of grunt.

Good pics camo looks awesome if done right, but at the moment i would like to go fluro orange, green etc but might go camo 1 day. What places did you look for 12ht's i've been lookin in the 4x4 traders, for wrecks with 12ht's but it's lookin like they are few and far between. Jason's has a 350 it is AWESOME

Post by **rob lawrence** » Wed Dec 12, 2007 9:21 pm

fluro orange will be sweet. thats the colour i wish id done mine. go the xtra cab will look great. keep us posted

Post by **60 mad** » Wed Dec 12, 2007 9:27 pm

Will do, how about you post some pics of your 60 will be good to see i presume it's been cut.

Post by **Wambat** » Thu Dec 13, 2007 7:26 am

hey guys im planing on a similar build. i reckon paint it bright yellow

lol... i knew i should never have sold my old 60. you know how when you own something all you do is see them??? well that happend to me, i owend a 12ht 60, and was told the same thing they are rear, hold on to it. but all i did was see them while i was driving around, and i got rid of it, biggest mistake ive made(apart from buying it in the first place)

any ways fellas, good luck with it.

Post by **rob lawrence** » Thu Dec 13, 2007 4:39 pm

Post by **60 mad** » Thu Dec 13, 2007 6:47 pm

Just get a 4 litre can of whateva paint , get drunk with ya mates then see what happens. maybe just spatter it all over and turn your wipers on to clean the leftover off. one of a kind and everone will know its you. or park it in some dodgy place with some aerosols lined up and let the thugs go crazy. P.S make shore they are over the age of 18 as it now illegal for younger people.

GO THE TOY!

Post by **tna racing** » Fri Dec 14, 2007 11:48 am

looks

Post by **rob lawrence** » Fri Dec 14, 2007 12:20 pm

sweet! ok here's some of the chop job

i put i panel in where the hinges used to be

those are my horrible road wheels

thought id put this one in for shits n giggles

i guess i should explain the cab job was all done in fibreglass. everything rear of the door is glass just cause thats wot i do. the extended cab is great for storing stuff behind the seats. hope this helps somehow
