This was the donor Kingcab, we started with just the actual cab unit from this vehicle, she is an 08 with only low kms on the clock

I also purchased a 2010 Double cab to pillage a lot of parts from, the front suspension components came from that vehicle and were spliced to a full custom chassis to create this:

There are plenty more pics and I am being a little picky over what ones go public – I need to leave something for when she is completed

I have to say, I am IMPRESSED.

Constantly amazed at how much you can get done so "relatively" quickly coupled with quality and ingenuity.

Excellent work sir, keep it up.

Update for those watching:

She is at the certifiers getting what should be the final inspection.

If there are any issues then I will have to spend some time and sort it ALTHOUGH I'm quietly confident that I have it all sorted – famous last words

So IF there are no problems it's very possible I could be on the road early Sept

Might be time for a BBQ at The Lab if things work out

Replaced bump stops with lower profile units and made custom solid steering rack bushes to reduce bump steer to just half a degree toe in on droop only, zero on compression

Now fully road legal and legally defined as a brand new car

Still a little to do, need a final tune, am gradually tweaking colds start etc on the way to work every morning getting it just right, just one little two minute window with a tiny hesitation on acceleration now, should have that sorted tomorrow. (it's an ultra fussy eng to tune on warm up it seems!!!)

Need to paint the rear panels again after the final tidy up, what you see there was just enough to make it shiny & close to the right colour and water proof for the cert process.
