Hi all! Sorry about the delay in replying! Life has been very busy for both myself and Dutton! The build of the hull has been running late but the good news is, I'm collecting the hull this Friday!

Looking good what's next on the list or What stage is next??

It's impressive thanks for sharing

Very quick update! It's been a super long 24 hours but the Surf is home!

A few photos of the Surf on its way to Wales

Fantastic!!!!!! it hasn't taken that long to produce looking great

Possibly the ultimate bug out vehicle! :silly:

I have started to work on the Suf but for it's the boring stuff like organising the hundreds of parts, nuts and bolts onto the man cave shelves! The worst bit is painting the inside of the hull, I hate painting and it's hard work crawling around painting every nook and cranny!

A few pics of the progress...

A quick shot of the modified transfer case with the dog leg clutch and prop shaft to the jet drive. Sorry about the colours my phone does not like the bright yellow and flourecent lights in the man cave!



The engine bay



Modified steering box and steering box frame mount



And finally a close up of the steering box with the extra seal for where the steering arm will go through the hull

Every time I look in this thread I get one thought.......Turbo!!

One problem I've noticed is that the Surf isn't looking so odd anymore!

I worked for Nissan a couple of decades back and a 100NX sat in the showroom for years....way ahead of it's time......they actually look contemporary now imho <txt spk from a 50 something

It's looking good and keep plodding away at it :beer:
