luxsurfer

let me know what you guys think?? I don't mind criticism :-) i believe you learn from it and if you have an idea for it shoot it at me!! Always willing to give new things a thought

bringing it home from sydney i got the link bars, tank and chassis painted to tidy it up it has a list of mods i could list but is way to long.....its the little things that people don't notice like the 99 lux headlights grafted into the tub and the recessed headlights to fit behind the phantom grill that shows every little pice of this ute has been modded :-)

Hey everyone!! Some of you might have checked out my bagged and bodied toyota surf on here, well i have recently been getting stuck into my 89 toyota hilux as well with the help of my mate at customworks, Mr Richard :-) the frame was built at customeworks and and very happy with the result! The bodydrop was also done by them! I'm in the middle of doing all the tidying up, interior and EFI'ing the motor for a cleaner look...here are some pics of it so far

heres my surf next to jays lux YEAH YEAH YEAH

ok, ventured to Sydney this weekend.......and got stuck into my surf! finished the front tubs, welded on new rad support, scalloped the bonnet so it would fit over the tubs and fitted all the front end up!!! i'm stoked with the way it came up!!!! my new BOX-TER engine LOL my new control arms :-) still a bit to tidy up, made the front tubs so all the headlight wiring can't be seen to make it a little neater ;-)

Cheers guys.....i will have some more updates after this weekend!!!!! :-)

ok....some more goodies arrived!!! Had to get new upper tube arms as i lent my ex my set for her bagged and bodydropped lux and as it states she is my "EX" now so they are long gone!!! lol Got them from the same place CANDO specialties in the states...steve is a top guy and had them to me within two weeks :-) http://www.candospecialties.com oh and did i mention i have an addiction for billet.....so i got my little fix this week to aircon vents

well i was going black bottom, red top! But that changes everytime i see a new coulour ect...its along way off paint though!! I have a bit of body work to do and get the engine mounted and wired! was also talking to bullet about a possible supercharger for it! But trying to keep this engine under a stock hood with an over 80mm bd is going to be hard anyway!

hey all!!! well got this thing all passed, engineered and on the road!!! but have since sold it to fund another one of my projects...(which shamly is a bagged honda accord wagon haha) but here are some more pics of it while i had it and before i sold it:-) Dam i miss it!!!!

THEN.................. the new body!!!!!!!!!! from this to this to this a few other goodies are the engine, new control arms, sump and engine mounts :-)

well i thought it was about time i put up some more progress!!!! well the chassis is pretty much finished, grafted another toyota hilux front end on from the Z forward as i was not happy with the old one! Also added alot of tube into the rear for strength :-) relocated cab monts to allow for the toyota surf body! 40mm Z to allow the frame to lay flat when aired out (this obviously isn't finished in this pic) Club logo gussets (No Regrets) dropped front frame horns to allow for the Bodydrop and the Z time for the Bodydrop so the body also lays flat on the ground tubbed the rear but not really happy with it so it may change

Well the new rear clip was made and welded this weekend! came up really good! Big thanks has to go to Richard from customworks in Sydney for flying up and do it for me!!! CHAMP!!! We haven't mounted the crossmember or shocks yet as we plan to incorperate them into the tube work which will be going in the rear clip shortly The new cantilever 4 link! Made but richard at customworks All the 4 link tabs were TIG welded 4 link tabs were welded to the diff In the arvo its relax time...HELLO RICHARD hahahaha And then the arvo was followed by this

hahaha! got the all clear form the engineer today so going to strat detailing the chassis to give it that smooth clean look!! figers crossed you'll see this rolling around the Gold Coast by september

ok, got the shocks mounted today, they are adjustable shocks for a stiffer ride! also got the guage, switches and wiring all done!! So its one step closer to being on the road!!! Two rocker switchs, almost looks like they are suppose to be there and small dual needle viair guage will get pics up of the shocks soon

yeah they are!! was going to go with the 1j but mods to the firewall had to made to sqeeze it in!! As for trentmeyer23's question. to get it another 3inches lower, you cut out the floor pan and lower the cab over the cassis 3inch, remove the pinch and weld a filler in! then plate the sides of the floor and there you have it!! I love body drops....even they are becoming more and more common!!
