Havn't touched it much since collection, cbf uploading pic's at the mo but here is the link to the old owners project thread on oldschool so yal can see what it is (those who don't freak-quent oldschool...)
www.oldschool.co.nz/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=16958
-Plans include repairing rust (if not too severe...) on cab, paintjob in yet to be decided colour.
-Hot dip galv tray frame.
-Airbags I'm thinking, torsion arm suspension in front very bouncy, leafs in back not much better...
-G200z injected convo I'm thinking with 5spd box.
-Retrim bench seat and maybe get interior dyed up, theres 5shades of brown/tan... looks like something took several nutss in there!
-Tasteful rims (not going rollerskate spec on this one) Not sure what yet, maybe something like Jase on his silver wag as it is 6stud and 4x4 rims can be had cheap!
-Kit it out as a Waterblasting work horse.
Anyway may well patch up the WOF issue type rust and roll in it's present ratty form for a while... if too rusty may look for another cab to repair/paint up whilst enjoying it as is so when it is taken off the road some of the hard yards are already done...
Anyway anyone know of any rodeo's around or parts for sale let us know, will be looking for doors and so on, and maybe a cab off a dereg'd one... maybe a whole dereg'd one, wana make up a gemini cab to slam on a rodeo chassis eventually so a partser could come in handy...
As always suggestions welcomed, will get pic's of my own soon.
