mrlux5 Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 hay mate' im from aus just wondering were u got the disks from to replace the drums up front and do u need to put a brake booster on it. me thinks im going to need it with a 308 in mine :D Quote Link to comment
Greiggy Posted July 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 the disks came off a late model720/D21. mine came with a booster from the factory . youd be crazy not to run a booster with a 308 in it, even some big brakes to stop. Quote Link to comment

Greiggy Posted November 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 panel beater still has cab .. was meant to be in colour by now... a little frustrated by it.... Quote Link to comment
ariascarlos1990 Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 nice build so far! what color are you painting it? Quote Link to comment
Charlie69 Posted November 14, 2009 Report Share Posted November 14, 2009 Greiggy, from the pictures of the job he is doing I would have extra patience. You cannot rush perfection and from the pictures you posted he is turning out perfection. It will all come together soon. It will be the cleanest, straightest best looking truck in OZ!!!:cool: It will be worth the wait. 1 Quote Link to comment
Greiggy Posted November 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 thanks for the kind words charlie mate!! hopefully get a look at it this weekend and take some more pics. spoke to the panel beater today and it has become apparent that the aftermarket panels i purchased for the job are absolute junk so ive had to source some genuine stuff to get it back rolling again. bought another 620 for a parts car to get the right hand guard and dash out of.

Charlie69 Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 Hi Greiggy, I have found that to be true with after market panels, the just do not fit right. It is always best to have at least 1 parts vehicle if not 6 or 7!:lol: Keep up the good work and have patience, it looks like the panel beater is looking out for you. Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 That sucks about the aftermarket panels. Do you know the manufacturer? Just want to know what to avoid. :) Quote Link to comment
Greiggy Posted November 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 these ones have an ST Auto parts from thailand on them. Quote Link to comment
