WIP - mitsubishi triton (Dodge D50)

hi guys,
heres what im working on. going to be runnign a efi'd 2.6L turbo.
sorry the photos aren't great i'll get better ones once im done.


I've cleaned up the interior since this photo


intercooler and front end added

cool little mopar ute

That looks just like my friends D-50 back in our lowrider days... even the same cream color! Good taste mang!

Here's my dad's 1:1 of the same thing, (but with a hangover paint job )



Should look good with whatever you've got planned for it

1984 L200 , owes me $2500 over 10 years, perfect run around. Costs nothing to run compared to the Valiant.
By the way, i love the model version, wish i could find one.

hard to find but i'll keep an eye out for you
I've got a spare parts one but missing a quite a few bits

theres a couple of them here for $12 US

So far so good Brendon. Keep us posted.

also anyone know if this ute (1:1) ws available/built in japan.

Looking sweet mate! My uncle had one of these back in the day

cool engine work.

Coming along nicely mate, would like something like that engine in my 1:1, , mine was built in good old oz,, don,t know about Japan.
Also have found a kit, thanks mate.

yeah found out there were in japan as a mitsubishi forte. yeah it would be real ncie to have the motor.
good to hear.

heres another progress shot.
still got the engine bay, final details and clean up the paint to go

Looking good so far mate.

engines in.... still got some work to do on the detail

looking great so far.

finished the engine bay... except i think i need something in between the strut tower and battery (or just bog up the hole..it'd annoying me lol) what u guys think & if it needs something else what else...catch can?

Looks cool mate, catch can would look great but not necessary though, i'm liking it!

pretty much done done. need to makes up some clear resin to fill in the headlights, park lights and make the tail lights.
then add numberplates aerial and mirrors. then i think it will be done

Yeah, I think with a snail like that it'll need a bloody big set of tramp rods out back!!
