HiRoof Project : A/T tires

I want this Trooper to be a comfortable tourer vehicle. M/T 32" is too big and noisy.
I'm offering a trade with an A/T 31" or 30".

Gladly there is a friend who accept this offer, and guess what, it belongs to my old 5 door diesel Trooper.



A liitle bit too high, but that's ok since I want to use JDM concept which always love high SUV with black wheels ;)












Daniy will put this into paint workshop this day. Just hope that'll give a better appearance.

G Project 05


Update from my last visit at the end of october.
















G Project 04

This is the condition two weeks after we started the project. Paint removed, fenders removed, some plate already cut and some are welded, and replacement plate is prepared.




G Project 03

We told the workshop to start removing the paint immediately.
This is pictures a day after we put it in workshop

There's a hole in roof :

And in back inner fender

Other places with rust:







G Project 02

One day, Mr. G (owner of this Trooper) called me and said that he want me to fix his Trooper. I called Dany and the next day Daniy picked up the Trooper and put it in the workshop.













This is the condition : body mount plate is rotten and the body is sagging badly.













The roof is also full of rust.

G Project 01

This Trooper is located near my parent's house, so I already know about it years ago.
It's just a coencidence I found that this Trooper is belongs to an old guy who worked for company's client.













This is when I came to Trooper's house. I met the owner wife at that time, from her I know the story about the husband.













The body is terrible, it's full of rust. But since the owner is an engineer, the engine and drivetrain is in a very good condition.

HiRoof Project : Sticker Color Scheme

Since the paint is not in a good shape, and I don't have cash to repaint it. I'll play with body sticker.













I'm using PhotoShop to create this color scheme. I also add the Irmscher Nudge Bar, Side Mirror, Side marker lamps and Door Handle Ring Cover.

A. 1986 UK Version Scheme














 B. 1985 UK Version Scheme



C. 1986 UK Version Scheme















D. 1988 Irmscher JDM Version














Still doesn't know which one that I will use.
