discussion 1/24 Mk2 transit breakdown and knackered nissan skyline 2000

[peterairfix]

Time for a something different for me as I have the mk2 transit kit
So I have this kit

Witch I hopefully I can turn into something like this
and this kit

I want to turn it into something like this
of course being towed by the trannie
And I have these bits to help me

And it will involve a bit of butchery

 

[Andy T]

This looks very interesting Peter, I'll keep popping in.

 

[Jim R]

Interesting and unusual. I'll sit next to Andy and enjoy your builds.

 

[Mickc1440]

Now that’s a bit different Pete, good luck

 

[Gern]

Looks interesting.

I can't remember if it's in the instructions but when you come to fit the Transit windshield, put it in from the inside. You'll find it clicks into place and you probably won't need cement - or at least mine and PJ's did.

 

[Stefee]

Nice concept, will be watching this intensely.

 

[tigersteve]

Looks good! - I am planning something similar one day, I have the same kit ( but not the resin kit ....yet! )
In a previous existence many decades ago I used to drive this for a living!
It was obviously heavily customised with sliding doors and huge screen.
Whats the plan for the rear wheels? Will you try for twin wheels?
Will be watching carefully! Good Luck and have fun ...

Whats the plan for the rear wheels? Will you try for twin wheels?

I have a lwb conversion kit that has twin rear wheels with it

 

[peterairfix]

Here are the parts for the lwb part and the instructions

 

[peterairfix]

Forgot to add I have attached the rear bulkhead as everything backwards is cut off just leaving the front cab

 

[peterairfix]

The cab has been cut down and chassis cut to size I have added a rain gutters to line up with the cab roof

 

[Gern]

Forgot to mention - put the handbrake in before the seats. It's a real b****r to fit if you don't - and of course you know how I know that!

 

[Jabba]

Very good work! I did my apprenticeship on Mk 1 and 2 Transits. Look forward to seeing the results.

 

[Snowman]

Looking impressive thus far.

 

[peterairfix]

Chassis now attached and front suspension completed.
And the supplied wheels look the part.

 

[scottie3158]

Nice work, very neat.

 

[peterairfix]

That's the underside completed just the fuel tank to fitted

 

[peterairfix]

Just had a go at weathering and rusting the cab up I don't think it's looks to bad

 

[peterairfix]

One knackered looking transit almost done I will using the original floor and some bits to fill in the gaps as I want to give that bodged look..

Now this is different!!!
