this thread may give your signature new meaning.
R.O.G.
That looks excellent.
You must be hanging to get it!

It started first pop today... Impressed, it does belch a little smoke, but I think a turbo^2 will clear that right up.
Yeah, can't wait to get it.
It'll need a clutch pretty much straight up, so when that happens, the engine will come out, turbo^2 added, clutch changed and all dropped back in.
Very nice looking rig. factory locker?
Will definitely go places.
Projects:
'90 2jz-gte 929
'02 twin-locked TD42 GU Patrol
Very tidy rig, nice purchase. The first scratch or dent will be upsetting. A glasshouse run is needed pronto.

Seeing as this is a passing fad I think we should leave your name as it is.
turbo^2 ?
Presume you are talking compound turbs there Az.
Looks nice and clean, guessing it may get some mud on it fairly soon though.
Cheers, Richard

I Climbed Mt Druitt
Turbo^2 = compound turbo.
I made it up- its patented and copyright - myshorty productions.
PS. When you type myshorty on an iPhone, you get MHz orgy as a suggestion.
I presume this is a sign that I need to fit a UHF to this as well.
Possibly, but to build another one the same as the last would be a cold $60k That's enough to turn me off.
For the hatrick,
Should I put a rollover hoop in it?
Did you sell off all the bits from the other one? I thought it was between gearboxes and then next thing it is stripped and some mental defective alcoholic has put an axe through it.
I just wonder whether it is possible to go from a ten second car to an uncomfortable, expensive noisy bad handling 18 second car and be happy. Truly.
Happier than you could ever imagine.
and it was only a 12 second car according to willowbank
Looks tough, you'll be lifting front wheels around corners once teh turbos are fitted.

The spare has been overinflated.

Cracka and I spent yesterday undoing 20 years of DIY.
It's a wonder this thing ran (from an electrical point of view).
Owner wanted to change the head unit to a pioneer thing with ipod shit. so there was 400m of 2.5-3mm electrical cable spaghettiing around the car with a DC-DC converter under the drivers seat to power the stereo. (truck is 24v)
We ripped all that out and wired up the pioneer head unit to the factory loom. 24v patrols come with a clarion DC-DC converter in the kick panel that runs a 12v head unit from the factory.
DIY fail.
It's an import, so it had a rear passenger heater. ripped all that out, along with the accompanying copper heater lines in the cab. Useless crap.
Ripped out the rear seat. I give no fark for passengers.
Ripped out 2 separate unrelated attempts at spotlight wiring - another abomination of DIY fail.
Changed battery terminals from fully sik gold plated and not quite working and slightly melting when the starter motor was used battery terminal, to a proper screw down connector and repaired the starter strap. changed -ve also and re-used the 55mm earth straps I had in the liberty to ground engine and body.
Flushed coolant. changed fuel filter.
next week I'm changing engine, gearbox and diff oils and chasing an issue with the temp gauge not working...
$6k in, by next week, I'll be up to $7k and have a fucking awesome reliable little truck.
Can't wait to find some hills/sand/mud and see where it can go.
have you over tightened every bolt in the car yet?
If not, I suggest you do this immediately
p.s. "Need a tow"
