MG Metalworks Van Build

[mgmetalworks]

Thanks. I'm thinking about adding a rear tank so this is of interest to me. Thought maybe the aftermarket door was easier to fit or something.

The aftermarket fuel door is easier to fit in to the new recess. I just like the factory look better.

The Cummins van gets closer to roadworthy every day. I took a moment to snap some pics of the underside of the van while it is still clean.

I love working with new parts!!!! everything goes together so nice!















Hang in there loyal followers! We are soooooooo close!!!

Looks great! :coffeedrink: What is on your punch list besides drive lines, diesel and getting it off the lift?

That is sexy right there I don't care who you are. Next time I go to the pull a part I am going hunt down a ball joint coil sprung D60. I want to do away with the king pin setup I have now.

Gorgeous. Is that a brand new transfer case? So shiny...

Built to drive my friend, no matter what the conditions are.

So, dumb question. Can you not add a longer hose and go to the original factory fuel door or are you afraid it won't fill with out shutting off?

oh no, there was never any doubt in my mind. i would do the same, but ive never built anything that looked that good underneath when i was done. im a huge advocate of using your toys for what you built them for! if you didnt, id be let down. some people are into projects for the build, then sell and never use to its potential. ive never understood that personally. when i build a toy, i run it into the ground having fun with it. only way to do it imho.

Drive it like you stole it!

The fill path would be all uphill if you tried to fill from the forward fuel door. People who have tried this often have complaints about filling the tank too.

I just finished reading the entire thread, to say I'm impressed would be a huge understatement. I'm looking forward to the next update.

Did you add spacers under your coil springs?

I have not added spacers. I may in the future though.
