Arles Blue NAS 110 #4 Tdi porn

[ECR]

Couldn't resist some Arles Blue Tdi/NAS 110 #4 porn...

also some '97 D90SW with new style dash porn...


:) :)

you change the wheels again?

[ECR]

you change the wheels again?

Yup.
Miscommunication on the first set. The customer said Defender alloys, so we put Freestyles on it. Then he clarified and wanted Boosts, so we later put on what he wanted. We have all the different types in stock so it was a non-issue (thankfully, as this truck is leaving asap). :)

[bjf]

Actually I was confusing this with the black one. The wheels on that changed too

[evilfij]

Do you have a D90 fuel pump? I can't find my spare.

The wheels on the black one were always going to be Freestyles. We rolled it around the shop on some others for a little while though. :)

No. If they aren't rusted junk we save them for diesel conversions.

[Bozman]

Nice pics, the blue 110 sure looks perty.

[mpsteil]

Mike, I love the boosts on that truck. To put those on a NAS 110 do you have to use wheel spacers or do they bolt right up?Yup.

love the boosts too but dont htink they would look right on a white one

Correct, or swap out the guts of the axle for the thin flange style, otherwise the stock 110s thick drive flanges will stick through the center cap. Spacers are the cheaper way to go.

[Bozman]

Spacers are the cheaper way to go.

What is your opinion on the effect spacers have on the truck? I have heard theories that they add too much stress to some parts?

[specops1526]

Mike, do you have any extra sets of Boosts you can sell?

[mpsteil]

And if it does add stress, would you care if you never took the truck offroad? I only drive mine on the street and might go with the boosts rims. ThanksWhat is your opinion on the effect spacers have on the truck? I have heard theories that they add too much stress to some parts?

Yes, they do that, but if you use thin ones they don't seem bad. I bet the engineer crowd has lots to say about them, but they seem to have been used with success for a long time.

We use the thin drive flanges because we upgrade the rears to disc and rebuild the front axles anyway, so we just do that work with alloy friendly parts.

Sorry, we just have a set or so of each type and I keep them for when a customer wants a last minute addition of alloys. If I had to tell a customer I was out of something it wouldn't be good. :) :)

No problemo, thanks anyway!

hey mike,

thanks for the sneak peak!! What kind of tires are you running on the Blue 110?

thanks

[evilfij]

The tires pictured are BFG AT KOs.

[minorthreat]

How does one source that 2002 dash? And what is the approximate cost? Anyone?

[ECR]

The tires pictured are BFG AT KOs.

He is correct. 265/75 BFG ATs customer choice.

[slangel]

Loving the 110! I am partial to Arles blue, thanks for the peek!

[ECR]

Glad you guys like it.
We have a Willow Green one going together now as well and that looks cool too. IMO.

Pretty soon. Have to get the new galv frame for that truck set up with the new Td5 before the body can go on. :) :)

[TDI Guy]

Nice. Can't wait to se the Td5 Build

[don]

Beautiful looking, as always.

Arles Blue is my favorite color on the 90. I'll be very interested to see how that color looks on a 110 after the final build. Is the cage going to be blue or black?

The '02 dash is nice! Any idea what the retail parts cost is for that conversion?

[aosias]

The '02 dash is nice! Any idea what the retail parts cost is for that conversion?And where you could order them from. I'd be interested in that conversion too.

[surf110]

Looks really good Mike.
I thought you bought back the Blue 110 from a customer that couldn't pay.

Safarirover can source out the Td5 dash parts for you. He has the complete list.

Got my Boosts from this place:
British Recycling
11315 Dismantle Court
Rancho Cordova, CA 95742
(888) 908-7575

They are came stock on the 98 DI SEs

Cool, I'll have to give them a call. Everyone I've asked with a 98 Disco won't trade me their wheels...

You had me at Willow . . . that is by far my favorite Defender color.

The Blue 110 I bought back was BR110 #4. It is still here in bits... not sure if I am going to finish it or not.
I already have a 110 project, a 90 project and a 130 project... not sure I need another. :) :)

90% of the parts for the dash conversion are factory. 10% are custom and can not be bought, but have to be made, otherwise some of the new parts will not work correctly in the NAS trucks.
Then there is the wiring...

I just took apart my dash this week end, this thing
has a lot of screws, i had to tag them all.

It's the post 2002 dash, so if anyone wants hints
or tips :) .

[bjf]

why is the java black one a project and not NAS 110 resto 5?

[diesel_jim]

Looks good! (although the floor plates are green :eek: )


shout if you have any hassles with the Td5. Recently finished building mine, so all fresh in my mind.

[ECR]

???
I don't understand.

#4 means that we are restoring NAS 110 #4/500 (as in the number on the back).

The Black (now, black, was white) is NAS 110 #383/500

No, the floors are not green. You are looking at pictures of 2 different trucks.

The blue one is here:

The green one that just got the new style dash is here:

you don't know me very well if you think I'd ever let a truck out the door here with a blue exterior and a green interior. :) :) :) :) :)

I was wondering who Sasa was?

Sweet rig, makes me think hard about recoloring mine while it is completely apart.

[Bozman]

That is going to be a beauty.

Is that a "new" Safari Gard bumper? Or is it a left over one from the previous CEO/CFO/COO?

If it's new, is the quality the same/better than before.

Thanks.

[ECR]

Thanks.

It is an ECR ROX bumper/ SG clone.
Back in the day, when SG was unable to deliver bumpers during their "issues", our customers still demanded them... so we make them in house, have been for yeas. Since SG came back I contacted them in order to have them make them for us again, but we couldn't make the numbers work, so we still make them here for in house projects, but not mail order.

Holly was getting tired of people calling her and asking for "Fidel", so I figured I try something different. :)

[bjf]

Ha I thought #4 meant the 4th full 110 resto. Granted the black oone doesn't have the resto info at the beginning like the blue one

The cars we do for Copley Motor Cars are all based on that same web page, like the Blue 110.
The cars we do for customers are posted like the Black 110.

It all makes sense now
