Haai Roger

begin nou mooi aankom jy kan seker nie meer wag nie

Posted: **Sat Oct 01, 2016 5:39 pm**

Got the front section of the exhaust done today. Have connected it to the old back section and will take it in to finish it off when the truck is driveable again. My pipe bender is only for heavy duty pipe and cannot bend the rear section at home. Those 90 deg bends I had bent in town.Still waiting for the starter motor to finish the engine mountings. The problem of living in the place where I live.

Roger nou JEUK jy seker om daai wa langs die rivier te gaan ry ....

jip, die platteland het nie altyd al die geriewe naby nie ... MAAR, jy het ook nie al die ander goed naby wat mens se tyd vreet nie. GENIET daai rus en vrede !

Posted: **Sun Oct 02, 2016 2:09 am**

Nice work on the exhaust .... coming along beautifully!

Posted: **Sat Oct 08, 2016 4:49 pm**

Got the engine mounts finished today. cleaned up the chassis and undercoated it with MS primer. Just the front part of the chassis, will still do the rest.

Looks very nice Rodger

Thanks Dawie.

netjiese werk Roger

Posted: **Sat Oct 15, 2016 9:47 pm**

Today I stripped the chassis and cleaned it up with a wire brush and sanded all rust spots to bare metal. Under coated it with MS5 primer and painted it with stone chip. Still need to do underneath. Fitted new second hand rear leaf springs and new shocks. Will do the front next weekend. the front springs are retensioned with an extra leaf in. The rear were only retensioned. They lifted the truck by 50 mm at the rear, shows how pap mine were. Will see how they last,( dont have money for an upgrade at the moment).

Posted: **Sun Oct 16, 2016 12:50 am**

Looking good Roger. Those rear leaf packs don't look like they've undergone a heat "re-tensioning" ...... did you have them re-shaped (cold press)? Cold press is still the best option - my Lux still stands level after a couple of years after doing it myself.

Posted: **Sun Oct 16, 2016 7:35 am**

I am not sure Andy. I bought the set with new shocks from some ou for R1000 about 2 years ago. Have not had time to fit them before now. He was on the forum, said the set up was too hard for his liking and fitted something else. So we will see what they feel like, I am not too worried about being too hard.

Posted: **Sun Oct 16, 2016 8:26 am**

Jy vorder baie mooi Rodger .Hoekom het jy nie die aste ook afgeskuur en geverf voordat jy die vere op gesit het nie.

Posted: **Sun Oct 16, 2016 8:45 am**

Dawie, ek gaan die aste nog uithaal om oor te doen. Ek wil die agter een die brieke en bearings doen en voor moet ek alles doen want hy lek op die swivels.Ek doen soos ek geld het. Ek wil in Dec die verf doen want ek gaan n bietjie meer tyd he. So die aste sal ek eers in die nuwe jaar doen. My spasie is ook beperk so ek moet iets doen en klaar kry. Ek moet eers die chassis uit vat om die spuit werk te doen.

Posted: **Sun Oct 16, 2016 10:34 am**

Dit maak sin wat jy se Rodger

Posted: **Sun Oct 16, 2016 10:41 am**

NICE !!

Posted: **Sun Oct 16, 2016 12:30 pm**

looking good there Roger !

Posted: **Sun Oct 16, 2016 4:17 pm**

Thanks all, still a lot to do but we will get there.

Posted: **Sat Oct 22, 2016 10:18 pm**

Did not do very much today. Repaired the long range petrol tank and fitted it. Refitted all brake pipes and steering box.

Posted: **Sat Nov 05, 2016 6:20 pm**

Last weekend I fitted the front leaf springs and shocks. ( no pics yet)

They also lifted the chassis by 50 mm. Today I sanded the back doors and under coated them. Next weekend I will do the front doors, then finish them together.

Posted: **Sat Nov 05, 2016 6:43 pm**

Thanks for the update looking good

Posted: **Sun Nov 06, 2016 7:28 am**

Stadig maar seker, dit lyk baie goed!

Posted: **Sun Nov 06, 2016 8:26 am**

Jy is besig om te wen Rodger.Lyk baie mooi sover.

Posted: **Sat Nov 12, 2016 6:20 pm**

Did the front doors today. Got my bonnet vents yesterday, and the scoop that I am busy making.

Posted: **Sat Nov 12, 2016 6:53 pm**

Baie mooi Rodger.

Posted: **Sun Nov 13, 2016 12:00 am**

Nice work!

Posted: **Sun Nov 13, 2016 11:24 am**

Looking good

Posted: **Sun Nov 13, 2016 12:22 pm**

MOOI !!

Roger gaan hy reg wees vir n Desember trippie ?

Posted: **Sun Nov 13, 2016 4:09 pm**

Haha, Chris, hy sal seker sometime volgende jaar klaar wees. Die December moet ek plaas oppas. Gaan eers in Januarie op verlof, kan nie wag nie. Ons gaan n boot trip na Walvis Baai op die 15 Jan vat vir 5 dae, as ons terug is trou my dogter, dan is ek broke.

Posted: **Sat Nov 19, 2016 7:00 pm**

Today I sanded the fenders and panel above the wipers. Did not under coat, was too windy. Cut the bonnet for the vents and scoop.

Posted: **Sun Nov 20, 2016 1:16 am**

Almost there!

Posted: **Sun Nov 20, 2016 11:45 pm**

Would you like a D4D bonnet scoop?

Posted: **Mon Nov 21, 2016 2:58 pm**

Yes Thabo, do you have one. And what it will cost.

Posted: **Sat Dec 10, 2016 3:52 pm**

Have been doing a few small things since I last posted. Fitted the vents and scoop, still need to finish them off. Has been so hot here, only been working in the mornings. Got my paint yesterday, my hands were so itchy this morning that I sprayed the engine bay just to check the colour.

Posted: **Sat Dec 10, 2016 5:15 pm**

Looking pretty darn good, Roger!

You'll be driving a 'new' bakkie one day soon!

Posted: **Sat Dec 10, 2016 6:35 pm**

Baie mooi Rodger

Posted: **Sun Dec 11, 2016 9:16 am**

Posted: **Sun Dec 11, 2016 6:41 pm**

Excellent work!!!

What's the latest??

Rich

Posted: **Fri Dec 16, 2016 6:43 pm**

Sprayed the cab today and the cover plate for wipers. Few small places that I am not happy with.

Posted: **Fri Dec 16, 2016 7:44 pm**

This is coming on great! Won't be long now, Roger.

Can't wait to see the end result!

Posted: **Sat Dec 31, 2016 4:57 pm**

Done a bit over the last 2 weeks. Painted the cab floor and wheel arches black stone chip. Started refitting a few odds in engine bay. Today I sprayed the doors. Will continue when I come back from leave.

Posted: **Sat Dec 31, 2016 5:41 pm**

Rodger jy is stadig maar seker besig om n legende weer sy ere plek te gee.Daardie spreiverf vat seker nie lank om droog te word met julle hoe temperature nie.

Posted: **Sat Dec 31, 2016 6:01 pm**

Vassbyt Roger !!

Nog een tree nader aan n warre LEGEND

Posted: **Sat Dec 31, 2016 9:45 pm**

Dankie manne, ek is nou klaar tot ek terug kom van verlof af. Sal net hier en daar n klien ding doen, ek gaan eers die 11de op verlof.

Posted: **Sat Dec 31, 2016 10:29 pm**

Ja nee. So 'n werkie vat baie tyd en ongelukkig laat die daaglikse lewe dit nie toe om te veel ongebroke aandag daaraan te bestee nie. Maar as dit klaar is sal dit die moeite werd wees! Dit vorder mooi!

Posted: **Sun Jan 01, 2017 4:54 pm**

Jou werk kom mooi aan, veral as jy al begin parte terug sit.

Posted: **Mon Jan 02, 2017 8:56 am**

Excellent work

Posted: **Sat Feb 11, 2017 5:13 pm**

Safely back from leave. It is very hot here at the moment, been between 40 and 45 this last week, so only done a few small odds. Stripped the motor, sent the crank in for grinding and git it back yesterday. Forgot to send in the conrods for small end bushes, took them in yesterday. Will start assembly when I get them back. Fitted lights, and a few bits of trimming.

Posted: **Sat Feb 11, 2017 6:07 pm**

It's gonna look spiffy!

Posted: **Sat Feb 11, 2017 9:06 pm**

Are you going to gasflow the intake manifold? Apparently therin lies a lot of power and some decent fuel savings.

Posted: **Sun Mar 12, 2017 8:15 pm**

Been very hot here by us in the last month, top temp of 45. Started cleaning and spraying interior plastics. Tried this product, will see if it lasts and how good it is. Also fixed the covers that go on the center pillars between the doors.

Posted: **Sun Mar 12, 2017 8:21 pm**

So this weekend I assembled the sub ass. Still have to do the heads. I want to fit the motor next weekend, will finish the heads and fit when motor is in. Is a bit of a schlep to do the torques all by yourself. Only work in the mornings at the moment, still too hot.

Posted: **Mon Mar 13, 2017 5:56 am**

Getting there bit by bit, looking good! :thunbup:

Roger, as far as aerosol paints are concerned, the Rustoleum products aren't bad, but for plastics and vinyl I think that "Vinylkote Formula 40" would be a better option (Google it and read the write-ups). I've used it before and it lasted well.

Posted: **Mon Mar 13, 2017 6:36 pm**

Rodger daar gaan n paar Ford manne lelik jaloers wees op daardie Ford engine. Soos jy werk gaan hy one of a kind wees wat nie gaan olie lek nie

Posted: **Sat Mar 18, 2017 8:25 pm**

Heads are done and motor is in. Must still make a bracket for power steering and fit. Getting there slowly.

Posted: **Sat Mar 18, 2017 11:22 pm**

Awesome!

Posted: **Sun Mar 19, 2017 7:06 pm**

Rodger jou werk is awsom.

Posted: **Sat Mar 25, 2017 10:12 pm**

Been working on a bracket this week for the power steering pump. I used the old pump from the 22R. Was a bit of a tight fit but got it sorted. Will have to use an electric fuel pump. We worked this last public holiday so we are off next Friday. Am hoping to finish a few heat shield plates this week and would like to fit the cab next weekend.

Posted: **Sun Mar 26, 2017 3:46 am**

Nice going!
