Eventually it came out with brute force and ignorance.

Some more pictures of project “japs eye”

    I just thought it was dead funny, and totally normal activity for a Sunday
    afternoon.

  2. admin Says:

    Well done Gaz,
    Pictures uploaded and everything.
    I have resized them for you.
    When you upload any more have a look for your folder in the image manager.
    If you put your pictures in there, you will find them again.

    Anyway Guys,
    What are you building here?
    Are you building or just destroying?
    Let us all know….

  4. tackleberry Says:

    Chevy Chris playing with a Suzuki what ever next.This should be interesting, Toyota axles in stock, Chevy bits in stock, Suzuki ready, anything could happen (operation Japs Eye) tune in next week.

  5. Chrischevymudclimbit Says:

    Byron you are somewhat right with regards to the words Chris and Suzuki
    within the same sentence! but this is supposed to be something for
    Callum to drive.
    Yes there is an inbuilt temptation to go extreme in every way I can think of
    but I want to keep costs down to almost nothing.
    I definatly need to keep the 1.3 engine and transmission because its there
    and it works and its relatively light in weight.
    The suspension does not work well so that needs work or indeed ripping off
    in its entirety and redesigning (time consuming?).
    The cage, seats, steering, tank etc etc is dead easy, whether I use those
    Landcruiser axles I’m not sure yet?
    Light weight and safe for younger members to practice with eh.

  6. Chrischevymudclimbit Says:

    Gaz nice photo’s.

  7. Chrischevymudclimbit Says:

    Do you know what, have any of you with club stickers on your cars realised
    that your neighbours know what your up to before you’ve actually done it?
    Think about it.

  8. MarkN Says:

    For chris,
    Ideas to help the suspension work.

    maybe going spring over on the axles as well?
    or lifting kit from here?

    Keep quiet chris don’t tell them anything.
    They will only laugh and take the p***.
    Keep them in suspense.

  10. Chrischevymudclimbit Says:

    Mark thanks for the linx and Gaz lets tell them that it’s being built
    within a budget of 8 quid even though I’ll probably spend double that eh?

  11. nigel Says:

    Talk about making hard work of a simple job! You nearly damaged your floresent lights or the garage roof. Next time give me a call and I’ll nip round with the scammell. We can tie the body to the garage roof and crane the garage and body up in syncronised poetry avoiding any nasty damage. This also has the advantage of keeping yor neigbours happy as the environmentally consious scammell(its painted green) delights all in this particular area of spondon as I am sure you recolect.

  12. Chrischevymudclimbit Says:

    Ayup me duck yes it’s always nice to return favours as I seem to remember
    lifting your entire garage with the ‘hiab’ and boy did we make hard work
    out of that one eh?. I dread to think how long it took you to build and
    insulate that garage only to realise that the Scammell won’t fit in it, mind
    you I’d like to bet that you were planning on a quick demolision job as you
    were driving it home for the 1st time?—–whoops—–what’s that crunching
    noise!? That Suzuki body was hooked just below it’s ‘roll centre’ as you
    have no doubt already sussed, if we’d have used a slightly longer chain
    it wouldn’t have been anywhere as funny as it was.

  13. MarkN Says:

    Bronco with panhard rod and four link for ideas chris
