cheers

 

 

Haydon, you've done an amazing job. Again, my hats off to you mate!

 

Thanks Al it has been a long time coming i cant wait for that first drive around the block. once again thanks for the kind words.

 

badass truck man, I love the color

 

sweet that sounds like a gem.

 

wow thats nice! i got some questions tho....did u change the front spindles? cause it looks like from the picture your running 4 lug...i really want to do this to my truck is any way that u can give me some hinters

 

those are 5 lug

most small pick up wheels fit the repu i have toyota mags on myn plus there rated for more weight right

 

theres 2 pictures showing the new hubs i got made to fit repu spindles .
cheers guys

 

I see you corrected the wider front track when you made your hubs. Do you have the drawings for the hubs you had made? I'd like to do the same thing here in the states.

 

i think most of the design was just jotted on paper but i can ask my friend if he still has the plans??

 

Absolutely. You've done exactly what I want to do, except that I'll stay 6-lug. If you can talk to your friend, I'd appreciate it.

 

Great job, cherry truck.

 

That's one beautiful REPU! Great job and that color is amazing.

 

it is just simply superb! Your truck will storm the nz show scene- both on rarity and shine.

 

DAMN!!! that thing is clean bro...nice job

 

words cant describe

 

cheers guys once again thank you for the kind words , i should be picking it up from the drop shop in a couple weeks so will be able to attack it when it gets back hope to have doors together ready to hang when its back.

 

the drop shop is famous for baggin trucks...is that wat ur planning? they do some nice work

 

Hey fellow kiwi !! Man it looks good with those rims flush with the guards. Pretty much every other repu out there has the tyre outside the guard look. Cant wait to see it driving, Good work

 

VERY NICE!!!!

That engine colour combo works really well in the engine bay.

Good choice of engine/carby combo too, last time I used that I had 7 years of daily driving without a single problem.

Congrats on an awesome build.

Cam...

 

Yes indeed mats work its 2nd to none thats why i took it too him umm no bags just some chassis mods front and rear so that i can pass a warrent of fittness as i had chopped b1600 springs and blocks and re aranged leafs at the back now i am using the og repu springs and will have bumpstop clearance.

cheers mate yea it took a bit of nutting out to get the right offset but happy as with the outcome, me too cant wait too drive it thats for sure, hows that rx3 going ??

thanks its the base coat under the kandy, yea i hope to be driving it a fair bit over summer fingers crossed.
thank you its taken a fair few years thats forsure.
