Yes definitely need stabilisers,

Do you have a photo? Please

Simm, yes , now to think about rigging it to a PC........

Will do.....Find the right person to ask officially, to get in the Shed.

Can anyone identify these bumpers?

I've used two here but the desert colour indicates they are off something modern.

I bought a lot of bits and pieces, all new and desert, some def supacat( it says supacat on the wrapping)(big clue)

Is this a supacat tailgate? (I got two more)I used on a previous project.

Hi, new project

Drivers Training rig

I'm turning into a towable trailer, so I can bring it to Shows.

Mostly complete already, any suggestion's ?

Want some pictures?

Lots of local changes, .5 was local, new bins. etc

one got new track different to CVR and a steyr marine Diesel Engine.

I see them running around now and then, not often

The colour was Defence forces and used on everything... But i don't have a code. sorry

A special Display

And Alan, who drove it during the Show, talking to the Crowd.

So, I started with this......

And finished with this..

Thanks to everyone who came to see it at War and Peace

Sean

PS.... The Engine needs a tune up, but it drove up to our show Salute..

Check out Salute.ie

I put hinges on the bonnet, safer and easier to use.

Floor Switch for the head lights

Ring in place

Ok, getting close to War and Peace

So , working late into the night...

And weekends

Wow , now that's confusing.

I used a Supacat tail gate which fitted exactly between the cab and rear platform

I cut the platform to allow greater access to the Engine bay and used ring bolts as tie down points ,they also secure the plates.

( I got 4 of these tailgates )

A while ago I went to an auction of RAF equipment and bought some Vehicle spares.... yes.. Did not buy a Lynx.. Want one though.

So I'm using these parts on this project.

This is a bump stop from an unknown current Vehicle

As you can see I cut the required section out and welded it in place.

So now making all the fixtures and fittings

Cutting the roof plate and preparing the plate for the gun ring.

Yes, all the Dash units are Ammo Cans!

I decided to use a foot switch for heads and dips.

Now thats wiring

Clocks are selected and switches installed.

Wiring.... A great mystery to me..I got a friend of mine who was trained professionally to do all the wiring.

First I had to make the Dash Panels.

So I had to copy the Tank cover with checker plate.

Then I removed all parts and painted the raw Steel.

Next I built the seat mounting frames and installed the Tank mounts

The Tank is from a light truck.It will give the vehicle an impossible range.(may have to go Diesel later)

The seat mounts also include the attachment points for the military 6 point harness's.

Yes, Bernard, you have Eileen hooked on the fame of driving in the Arena in Exotic vehicles.

Ok, you win,I'm just very sensitive...so i'll dig up now.....

Brakes and suspension, the Chassis is a 1974 Beetle, 1300cc

So I replaced all Balljoints and Brake components

( Phsst....... I Don't think we're allowed call anyone a "Brit" )

I'm allowed say it 'cause i'm one......... a brit
