« on: November 03, 2008, 08:59:07 PM »
As the title says, there must be people building stuff,so what ya building, how long you been doing it, and what are you doing to it.
Pics would be nice, suspension, engines, anything you like :-)

Unfortunately, not building anything Jeep related at the moment, but this is the Austin Seven after I finished sand blasting the chassis on the weekend.



On going project that will take about 18 months to finish.

I'll have you know thats 747cc of throbbing power from 1936 in the background  :-D , the plan is to restore it to fairly original with only minor mods to make it usable day to day.

What v8 oil burner would that be?
A mate of mine did a conversion a couple of years back, but wasnt happy with the power it kicked out so he put it back to v8 petrol.

Don't need pedals, might leave a hole in the floor and have it for a runabout.  Night vision goggles could be useful as it 6v and dip works by switching off the one headlight.

note wrong with the a diesel v8 makes the right sound and loads of torque. the v8 that fitted to the us emergancy vehicles is very good. IIRC they run them on a universal chassis and then put the required "container" on the back be it ambulance, fire or service
