hello again.
trust you are all well. :)

have been doing a bit of research into a possible 5" roof chop
on my mitsubishi swb pajero / shogun.
its not been used for a year, still good, solid & screaming out for something to be done to it.

not done one before but that wont stop me.
on the other hand, the wife may. :noyes: (this could be a problem)
reckon it would be good looking tow vehicle with this done.

we will see....................

anyone know whats happened to TearJerkers ???
been trying for a couple of weeks but its just not there. :frustrated:
best rgds dan. :thumbsup:

Dreadfully sorry, but for people on the other side of the pond. What is a pajero?

Hi Dave, :thumbsup:
now i know there is something up with my pc cos tearjerkers will not load.
keeps showing "internet explorer can not diplay the web page"
think its time to call in a friend who knows about browser settings
instead of leaving it to me who will fix it with a lump hammer.
thanks for the link on pajeros Jeremy. :thumbsup:
Hi Del, :thumbsup:
here is a pic of my paj.
Image
had it for a few years now.
its not too bad for light off-road duties.
never tried any serious stuff in it.

have printed a blown-up pic of it & altered it to see the basic impression.
like most things, it looks straight forward enough but i just wont know
till i get on & do it.
reduceing the glass will be a problem.
will have to swat up on that one.

its diesel & i have converted it to run on veg oil.
a good old banger & too good to sell for pennies (thats all they fetch over here)

if the chop goes wrong i can allways cut the lot & weld a roll cage on it.
would be ok for about 10 days per year weather-wise in the UK :lol:

anyway, reckon it will be well into next year if its a goer.

there just aint enough hours in the day !

best rgds dan. :thumbsup:

Dan, the TearJerkers.net site has been having some problems the last couple of days or so. I doubt that it has anything to do with your PC.

Dan:

The Rosewell is so unbelievably awesome and beautiful that it will be hard to wait; but, the longer we wait, the longer we can enjoy your build! :applause:

:thinking: I wonder what you will do when this one is done.... :thinking:

Dan, that trailer is now looking really spectacular!!

You have to take it out into a big field somewhere to get some good photos of it, so we can all appreciate from different angles.

Truly stunning work.

OK the wife wants to see inside :)
I have to say this will definitely be an attention grabber, and it looks marvelous.
