Hi

Here is sum pics of work in process,all tube work done just got to finish the rear bulkhead and canvas.










Chris

You dont hang about do you Chris. Looks great,who needs bodywork.

Chris

thats not your 90 is it?

It "WAS" my 90 all in the name of evolution.

You obviously had a busy monday morning, ..............
..................wot did you do the rest of the week ?

Before I put my coat on

I do hope you did a full structural analysis with a solid works program

Lovely work in all seriousness

Nige

I.T.R.O 7 hours in total so far about the same again to finish the bulkhead and canvas oh and the crapy LR wiring for the rear end. (i just did a quick cut and shut to get it rolling for the time being)

"full structural analysis" i am sure there will be a few come along and "TRY" and pick holes in it but hey you always get a few "f**k-wits".




Chris

Gosh that looks good. Definately the way to go (or space frame) but SWMBO gets most upset when I suggest doing to the 90

Just do it!!!! you wont be in the dog house for that long

Well now the rear axle is finaly sorted (well it better be) making room for the rear tyres is back on the agenda. At the mo I'm looking at ways I can modify the wheel boxes and keep everything conceled behind the existing outer skin. Maybe you could pm me a guide price for a rear hoop and stays supply and fit to replace my existing mil roll hoop with something solid as a base to work from?

PM sent.


Chris

bloody hell , i last seen that disapearing thru the gate in llansillin on the back of a trailer sunday nite just as your name was called for a prize

meant to come over to see you but never got a chance during the day

Yep we had to get going,my 3 year old girl had to much sun and turned into devil child.What did i miss out on?


Chris

FAF, nearly spilt my coffee.

Looks purposeful.
Nice,I'm curious to see the finishing.

P.S.
BTW,did you ever install that VGT off a BMW in the end?

i *think* it was a pair of dampers , cant quite remember ,

Looks awesome. you've just given me a great idea for my old bobtail trialler!

Dave

looking very sweet shame do it to such a tidy 90 but like u say things must evolve to get better!!

Got to TRY and stay in front,tray backs arnt a new idea just there isnt many over here yet.The main 2 reasons for doing it where to firsty save on body damage but also to save a great deal of weight.



Chris

I still dig on Retro

Chris Ive got a trayback bulkhead from a Hi Cap if you're interested ?

this maybe a silly question.. where is the spare going to sit? and what about the strops/shackles etc etc..

this isn't a complaint or anything negative just curious... as its something myself and Adrain have been toying with..

Hi Mate


Storage is in the rear bulk head if you look in the "Tray back update" thread you will see the pics of the nearly finished locker.As for the spare it will live on the bottom of the cage stays right above the winch with the waffle boards slotted in around.



Chris

Yes that one is a beauty.

Nice one Chris .Certainly is good to see another trayback in the making , They do seem to be getting more popular over here ,And are excellent on challenge events ,allowing for minimal damage Trees 0 traybacks 1.

Just started on my Tray back project, "see thread" this weekend..

Hi ciderman, found some pic's of your build on devon's site...Cool looking truck,

Iv'e got pic's of both your truck's for idear's in the work shop

Good luck with the build Adrian . Its good to look at other trucks to get an idea and then add your own personal touches , after all it was Martin Lewis and Bob Seamans tray backs that inspired me to do mine .
