Nice looking kit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I will be doing a cut to a rangie over the next few weeks.

The rangie I am cutting runs a 350 chev, t400 auto, 60 series diffs etc and is only used for comps.

1st job is to replace the A pillar, had an argument with a tree at the last vic winch Laughing

.

Then its onto the cut and bob.

I will post picks when we start.

So do you have any idea of what to do with all your pieces? Or even where to start cutting?

I am getting a bit worried that I will have all these bits and not have any idea of what to do with them. Shocked

Very nice.

I am thinking about running the Rangie on straight gas. Once I cut off the back I will see if there is room to fit 2 90litre tanks under the tray. This much gas should easily keep me going for a weekend away which is the furthest I would travel.
I thought I would keep the original carby in the back with a jerry of petrol so in an emergency I could change the carby and run it on petrol. Laughing

I am thinking of running it on dual fuel but i am going to keep my eye out for a diesel engine.

You just unbolt the whole roof and take it off. You don't need it for the Ute.

It will have nowhere to slide to.

LOL. Do you really want to go to all the trouble of installing a sunroof? Confused

Just leave the entire roof off. Laughing
