Well, my plan is to build the car for use in challenge competitions.I also hope to make it street legal, but i am living in Norway so i know its difficult .
I have painted the cab whith "yellow sand" well I think it is a little too yellow, but it is possible to paint it again i guess
I have also welded most off the brackets on to the frame.
Leafsprings is mounted
Front aksel is completely overhauled.
I mounted the engine last weekend.
the next thing I have to do is shorten the rear propshaft ( the frame is shorten), and make a new in front ( i move the aksel 5 cm forward).

An 89-03 VW ALH TDI engine was another option (still is), but that is even more work!
I wish we had diesel drivetrain parts for theses trucks. I love the torque and fuel economy, never cared about winning drag races... not that you could in one of these trucks without a V8 swaphttps://www.yotatech.com/forums/images/smilies/lof.gif

Hey it's been a while since I've been on the forum. Thought I'd post some pictures of what I've done since last time ..
As you can see from the pictures I've fitted tank across the frame for better clearance. Started up the car and tested flexibility, but found that the leaf springs are too stiff. More update coming later today or tomorrow ...

Took off two laefs in front and back. This helped a lot. Mounted on fenders and iroc`s,seats and put a lot off work with the electric, the cab has gaselectric so there were some challenge there.. took a trip into the woods to test, it felt good to driving again..
