You know..there was a point in your last post or two where i was willing to give you the benefit of the doubt and I had almost decided that you were not a jackass. I was wrong on that one.
You define yourself as a hobbyist that dabbles in restoration work (D90 Source Thread). I followed that...
Wanted to try Super GAZ
I agree on restoration vs renovation. I don't really know if you can restore a truck that is already in good shape that is not all that old.
I guess it should be in technical...I honestly did not think of that.
On the firewall; there are many ways to skin this cat. If/when we do this again we will reconsider the dash issue as you have a point.
Yes, sprayed the doors as well...light coat to get the nooks and crannies
We have never really had any heat issues before with the 300 in a disco set up more...
Last thing I want is blind praise.
Dash: obviously not removed. We removed all we could and got all the way up there with dynamat and some raptor. We could have removed it and even thought about that but decided against it. The firewall is all dynamat on the engine side.
I get your point on...
Motives:
to build a cool truck that I like. Post pics of the build to both show off a bit as well as to try and get a feel for what work is appreciated and what work is not. So far that is working well. As mentioned the truck is basically a spec build. We have built a number of discos but non...
I will look into the roof issue....had not thought of that. Agree on the headlight mounts but they are being replaced anyways. Once I realized the guys had not pulled them it was too late!
Wow....thanks for the kind words and support!
Could there be a different issue here seeing as you have sold trucks before....trucks much like this...and..since we are in the same geographical area there might be some perceived issue that you have with us? Could that part of the reason for the...
This is being built on spec for a customer/friend. He might end up with it, we might keep it or it might end up for sale.
We have built many Discos and we really wanted to build one to out "personal" spec :)
I hope we keep it
We got the first layer of raptor sprayed. This is tinted green but it is too light:

We top coat the raptor with the body color:

Looks dark but it really matches the exterior well:

Not a hell of a lot honestly.
Waxoyl for sure, Super Gaz suspension, all new bushings and underside rubber and crap, we have some custom bumpers we are building, new brakes all round, SS lines...whatever else we feel like messing with :)
Yet even more dynamat! :

It does frustrate the poo outta me at times. On the good side they are kicking ass on the build and seem to really be into it.
The nets will be fixed and should never have been installed like that!
As I said above it is not exactly for sale and I have no idea if it will ever be for sale.
My thought is that a truck like this would be worth 15-18k if it turns out how I hope.
