Volvo C303 Overlander Build
Ozzy50 replied to HoSS's topic in Modified Vehicle Builds & Special Projects
@HoSS not trying to tell grandma how to suck eggs but I take it you are going to support that top hose ! loving the build šš» -
How much are you taking off the rear overhang AND is it really necessary?
-
Ah of course , the a frame crossmember has moved forward , DOH ! Yeah you are certainly making packaging a problem for yourself š¤£
-
It hasnāt moved for 10 years so no problems at all , ha ha !! Seriously though I never had any problems with it , they sit well above the lower chassis line , I never got round to fabricating a tank guard for it but it would be prudent to do so . As you say with the new front suspension mounts a standard tank wouldnāt fit , hadnāt thought of that !

@missingsid awesome video thank for that , some of my all time favourite comp motors , the aliquat, guy smiths buggy , the appleyard buggy and Pete Roweās landrover , brilliant.

My favourite piece of āengineeringā is the B+Q gate hinges holding the fuel tank in place , that will account for at least Ā£10 of the 65 grand build cost 𤣠-

A claimed 65k build ? To build that monstrosity š¤¢, itās simply awful. Iāve seen it before , not sure if it was an article or a previous for sale ad , whichever itās still a hideous thing -

Ozzy50 replied to ThreePointFive's topic in Modified Vehicle Builds & Special Projects
I have to ask , would it put a diesel or oil fire out in the same manner , I have my doubts.
