Andries and his Jeep Project Excellent

[SYRON CONVERSIONS]

Andries can explain about this project of his, he even had an article in The SA 4X4 Magazine a few years back and got an order for ten of these Jeeps

[SYRON CONVERSIONS]

Well well well, is this vehicle up for sale and if so how much do you want for it dude

Yeah everything has a price..............

Ask my wife :arrow: say no more.
photo's been uploaded

[Andries]

Hi Simon!

I am a farmer, not a desk person. My wife is the typist in the family and even she can not help me to upload photo's.

I will see you soon, planning to come to Qtn, because I am busy building offraod bumpers for both my Hilux's. I will come for some computer lessons, to learn how to upload photo's.

Do you know off any engineers in Qtn who can help me with "plasma" cutting?

[SYRON CONVERSIONS]

My comments, do something with the two seats, they look like your 16 dogs have eaten them

Loose that #$#@#$ steering wheel, makes me remember when I hit the cattlle in the road with my Nissan 1400 bakkie

Spray the intake filter housing

Spray paint the rims they do not look great, what colour?

[SYRON CONVERSIONS]

Yeah this is a photo of my friend Andries, is he not a 8) looking dude

[Andries]

Hi Simon!

If you make a plan to come and visit us for a weekend you can help me to finish off everything.
I do not have 16 dogs any more, the are only 13 now!!~!!! :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:
I am planning to take the seats to Aliwal and get them redone(will you lent me same money, please?).
What colour do you think must I spray the rims?
My wife says NO to selling the jeep, took to much of my time and a lot off work to get it this far. It will be my "Toy" for the 4x4 outings.

Andries built his own chassis, the body was made from flat steel and most of the other stuff is made by him except the axles, engine, we will let Andries give a more detailed report of what he did or
(his lady)

[BenHur]

Andries

How much will you charge for such a body on a Hilux chassis?

[Andries]

Hi Benhur!

I shall ask between R 15 000 & R 20 000. Depending on steel prices.

Andries

[SYRON CONVERSIONS]

Please tell us more, will it be primed and painted, what will it consist of, how long will it take for you to manufacture, do you require a deposit and if so how much, will it be right hand drive, what will I need to get my Hilux chassis going, wireing etc.

Thankyou

WE WANT TO KNOW

Die radiator is uitgesorteer, uiteindelik!
Ek het 'n 2.8 Isuzu radiator gekry en 'n fan van 'n onbekende maak voertuig, by scrapyard een gekry, al wat ek weet hy waai kwaai(sal skilfers uit jou hare waai).
Kort nog klein stukkie plaat om bonnet klaar te maak, seats moet nog oorgetrek word en rims en chassis kort verf. Kom stadig maar seker daar, spook te veel met mede boere se stukkende voertuie(Isuzu's meestal :roll: :roll: ).
Het darem al die engine gestart en is sommer lus vir ry, net die clutch en remme kort brakefluid.

[Family_Dog]

Andries,

Jou "Toyo-Jeep" begin nou mooi lyk! Kom Kuier bietjie met hom as jy klaar met alles is :)

-F_D

[Andries]

As brandstofpryse afkom, kom ek more!

[SYRON CONVERSIONS]

Andries you must fit an expansion tank connected to the radiator.

And concerning the price of petrol, well just work harder fixing all the broken down farmers bakkies, charge them more as well and stop giving your vrou money (mine just takes it out of my wallet and then when I stand in a line of people wanting to pay for something, I open my wallet and damn there is no money inside damn women)

[Andries]

Het die "dop" afgehaal, die chassis ordentlik geweld en versterk, mooi oorgeverf en vanmiddag die "dop" teruggesit.
Moet nog die bellhousing ordentlik weld, is net gespot weld.
Die rims moet ook geverf word en seats oorgetrk word en die bonnet is 50% klaar. Dan kan ek gaan ry.

[SYRON CONVERSIONS]

Hey dude when are you coming through to Queenstown again?

[Andries]

I don't know, bit difficult at this stage because me or my wife have to drive to Aliwal every Monday and Friday for Anzel to go to school. Will let you know when I am going that way. When are you coming to visit and show me your "Russian Wife". :roll:

[Andries]

Uiteindelik amper klaar, stukkie plaat gekoop en bonnet gemaak, nog rof maar sodat ek idee het hoe hy gaan lyk. Moet nog rims verf, rollbar maak en towbar. Moet ek dit wit of silwer verf?

[SYRON CONVERSIONS]

Baby Pink.

Also one other thing, when I saw you at that garage a few weeks back, Ronny did not want to stop and chat with you, we were on our way to the post office, but it is also partly your fault, why do you not phone and let us know that you will be in town? Oh I forgot, this is how The Boer mense do things.

[Andries]

Die kinders maak my gek, wil net ry as hul die jeep hoor dreun. Sy gedra haar goed, loop lekker en is lig op branstrof. Gedra haar goed met obsticles.

PS: Simon I shall be in town on Friday the 17th of April 2009 at 12:15 at Laerskool Hangklip to pick up Anzel. I shall come and visit you at work at 10am and want same braaivleis and pap. Bye

[2.8 d/cab SFA]

mooi

[SYRON CONVERSIONS]

Goed dit is beter, as ek probeer om jou te bel, jy antwoord nie jou telefoon nie, ek dink jou vrou en jy is besig met die Jeep of ander dinge watter een is dit

Jou Jeep is lekker, ons moet die SA 4X4 Magazine roep end se' vir hullu dat die Jeep is net now klaar dan kan hulle n' paar jare terug gaan en die ander article dat jy het geskry kan jy dit klaar maak, all wat jy moet doen is die voor bumper Pink verf.

Sien jy Friday, goed en dankie. 8 )

Andries, for what is essentially a home-built vehicle you have done remarkably well, and are obviously very talented. The fact that it's taken 1½ yrs is understandable, money / life comes first, etc., etc. But for Pete's sake, you're 99% completed, finish it. It's only fitting the bonnet which you've already made, a roll bar and the touch up spray work (bonnet, rims, bull bar & roll bar). If you're not sure on colours, just be conservative .... bars black, rims white .... you can always change later.
And then post a few pics! :D
