Outer Limits 4x4 Board

bought the little beast last week

has a little bit more rust that wat i expected tho so yeh needs new guards doors etc and some welding work nothing to mayor (i thought )

had a big releif when i removed the windscreen only to find no bog work and no rust appart from where it could be seen will most likely need new windscreen tho as has rust on the inside but might still be good for rego but will see




the back bar is covered in bog and rust will need to chop and weld new bar in going to use like 2mm think fla bar bunnings can supply that at a good price as i work there will be getting a wire fed cigwelder from there also to assist in the wellding jobs as the stick weld will be to hot and burn every thing



umm engine works put new points in went ok had no petrol put 10bucks in and the carbie needs a mad clean the guards need to come off and found a small whole of rust on the rear wheel arch which has eaten through the floor but easy fix


umm the front diff needs a sand and a spray?? not sure tho if thats the case might need to get new ones will see and post pics up soon also the brakes and all are rusted bad not worth fixing i think anyway umm rear diff looks or leaf springs are rusted and will need to be changed also the shocks need changing the completly gone. apart from fire wall and the few spots and te bar in the back car seems so far to be in good order very pleased with her so far

managed to get a front cut off a 92 swb got me guards and front clip etc fire wall and anything elese i need


also managed to pck up a complete hard top for the girl for a very good price thanks to butnuckle ( russ ) also who i bought the front cut off cheers


also bonnet has a few holes of rust nothing to bad tho i think at this point in time

new pics will be up soon

so what you guys think

I saw that one listed on Ebay. "Just needs clear coat" I think it said.
My father was interested in it but after seeing your more detailed pics, I'm glad I steered him off it.
I'm doing the same to an NT LWB myself. Have bobbed my lwb body but not fixed firewall issue yet. Good luck with it. Keep the pics coming. Jas.

not sure if it was listed on ebay

but was purchased from newy way if that helps

got to get pics up of the front removed ghaurds cut the sides etc no seats and yeh

cheers nick

YEP. Definately was Ebay I saw it on. Morisset??? Was about 3 & a half maybe 4 months ago.
Couldn't be two matt charcoal with silverfrost striped LWB's around could there?

hey nick, i got another one now so il prob have some spares when i turn the 2 into one.
this one has rego so il prob use up a bit of the rego while im fixing up the red one and then do the engine/box swap and rego it.

well let me know what u got as i will need doors and the drivers guard if u got them also prob stock suspention as mine looks to be as hard as a rock lol

cheers nick

doors i could probably help you out with,
are the shorty doors the same as longys but? mine are hard top too

THEY SHOULD FIT I GUESS WE COULD TRY TO FIT THEM lol

its funny tho never seen a car where the wheel arch comes off with the guard the engine is full exposed so is the fire wall gives really good acess

looks like you been busy.
il be taking the whole body off mine when i do my engine swap.
proabably just pull the body off, fix whatever needs fixing and then paint it, then swap engines etc.. and stick the body back on

il post up the new pics there still old buying the welder today or tomorrow at the latest

so also what do you guys think the pics above with the shs in it is 40x40x3mm should i do the 3mm or go all out and do the 4mm only little buit difference couldnt get the channel steve susgested as they said they dont make the size of it

the whole in the drivers side fire wall is allot bigger than i expected but not going to stop now

boosted brakes i got the booster from a 1.3L how do i hook it up?? not to sure

anyone rebuilt a carbie on a 4k corrolla or should i just spend a bit and buy a webber for the thing

also extended shackles they hard to make

cheers nick

Theres a good excuse to do a guard chop

Nice mate, looks like abit of work to go still but will be very satisfying for you when it's all done.

Extended shackles are easy to make, just need two peices of flat bar 50mm or so wide by at least 5mm thick. measure your orig shackle length, add what extra you need then cut the length. make sure you clamp the two halves together well to drill your holes so they line up exactly. or put a tac weld on them while you drill then take it off after. put the tac right on the corner so then when you clean it all up (round the corners) the tac will come off anyhow. if your really worried about strenght, you can weld in a cross peice sort of like making a "H".

I used a H when i made mine for an old pajero years ago, but am just using two straight peices for the Zook.

Keep up the work mate it'll be nice when your all done.

im pretty shore they have a members section for threads like this!

seem like you have some rust holding your metal together

He means its really rusty.

Red_Zook is right- to avoid confusion, it's probably best to move the build thread to the members area where it belongs and leave the tech questions on here.

I'll ask a tech question though - how have you resolved the issue of registering the car with the 4K in it?

Steve.

went to the rta gave them the papers said its fine i just need the blue slip i have got engineers etc for engine
