Title: Tankus
Post by: Krico on December 19, 2013, 09:54:28 PM
Well, finally found one, it's better than I ever imagined.
The name comes from a video game I used to play in my younger days, that's what they called the tank, it sounds silly but I kinda like it haha

Pictures:
#1 coming out of the garage
#2getting gas
#3 In a new home
#4/5 just a few concepts probably wont happen, some of it maybe... but it'd be my ultimate eagle Gunmetal over black with redwood vinyl, a hornet front clip, and hornet rear tailight/bumper assembly, with a bunch of other things

At the moment I'm working on sealing areas where water is leaking in and installing a new set of wheels and tires, I'll post on this thread as it Progresses!

Thought I'd update things have been busy busy busy, and very cold can't stay outside for more than an hour before i cant feel my hands, but had a few good days, here's how she sits still hooking up an exaust cut out , interior panneling, and mounting for this grille I made.

Got a little rust repair for the spring time, the wheels rub a bit but I manage, they are 15" 3.75 backspacing, width of 7 on 205/75/15s

Looking good. You sure those are 4.5" backspacing? Looks to be a lot less than that considering how far they stick out. Unless it's the absence of flares causing an optical illusion.
