There's still a lot of work to be done!

Could you sort out the rust?

What motor is it?

Hi
Rust? new fiberglass body unfortunately they never did the load bin was promised but never materialised for MBOZA.
Chassis is galvanised so 100%
Original load bin can be reused I was thinking of making a custom one for overlanding.

Started with the Ford WD 2.5 engine conversion.(just intercooler and fuel system to be done)
Original 4Y is also there, with EFI Conversion
Hilux still licenced will renew this month.
New OME suspension hasn’t gone over a bump yet!!!!
BMW fonts seats that I sourced.
Looking for 80-100K as that’s what all the basic components cost

Bakkie: 50K
2.5WD engine from Alan:35K
Suspension?: 13K
Mboza body : 25K

That not evening including all other other stuff…. This will be an epic rebuild if some has the time to finish.

Hi,

New to this group I bought an LN65 was sitting on a farm. Looking for springs etc. will the suspension fit a LN65?
What is included in the suspension kit. Would I need to move the front axle forward or just bolt on?
Any advice will go a long way.
