Use normal bog for small jobs but make sure you paint or seal the bog behind the panel to stop the bog from bubbling again in 6 months.

Best way to learn :lol: Supercheap and the warehouse sell a product that comes as a fibre reinforced based bog (works the same as normal bog but has glass fibres in it) thats real sticky. If it was me I would clean and prime like you have, use some rust converter(if you can clean,convert and paint the otherside of the panel - it slows down the rust coming back) and then bog If in doubt bog and sell :twisted: :twisted:

HQ was a 12 ton cutdown with the back of the cab made by a guy in Wanganui. (Im from Waverley originally) Had a 202 12 port blue block with a 4 on the floor. XD was an ex mob car from Wanganui so had to finish it . Had XF interior 2 and 3/8 exhaust by Rivers Speed and Spares I threw away the original 3.3 and put a 4.1 with flat top pistons hot ignition extractors and a 600 double pumper holley that I got off my brother inlaw and fished the paint job with DB yellow with a ford blue pinstrip down the side blue mag centres and blue aircleaner(stuck out of the bonnet) I was gutted when i had to sell her in pieces to survive when I ost my job abot 14 years ago would love to be able to squeeze a 6 into my zu but it wont go in without a major.

nice, ill look out for them, the XD should stick out a little in yellow lol thats if there still around. my m8 has a 86 xf ute with a ld28 in it, it had a calfshit bown colour interiour . so we took it out and put a grey ghia xf interiour in, its so much nicer. gutted you had to sell them aspecialy after you putting the hard yards into them making them nice. sad to hear. i just picked up a mazda b2200 and its real gutless, i was thinking of putting the c223 motor out of my old bighorn into it because its turboed,done less kms and its isuzu haha. does anyone no of a 2wd g-box it will mount up to ? that i could fit in my b2200. ? im talking about the 2.3 motor, not the 2.5,2.8 or 3.1 diesel motors. cheers should be a lot easier to fit in the b2200 than fitting a 6 in a zu haha

Its going to be a hard look around but the c223 was in some early isuzu utes and vans Some of these were 2wd. Then no transfer case to worry about. You could get away with fitting the 4wd box with no front drive shaft buts a bit of a whanganui way of doing things
