Modifications on a lovely Smart Brabus For Two

For today’s Transformation Tuesday, we'll take a closer look at our "Project Proton" Isuzu VehiCROSS. In order to install each side's twin Diamond Audio Hex Series tweeters, we modified the original A-pillar covers (using a combination of epoxy resin and polyester mesh) and painted them to match the truck’s exterior. We also fabricated brand new door panels (comprised of medium-density fiberboard, body filler, and fiberglass) to house a pair of Diamond Audio Hex Speakers, on each side. And of course, to reduce annoying rattles and ensure optimal sound quality, we completely wrapped the doors in Dynamat.

There's that pesky magnet. It looks funky but it's just covered in Rit gunk

So I got a little bit crazy and cut a slot into the pump handle. It's not the most even cut, and I could wish it was, but I can fix that later, but I then used a screw that was about 3/4 as long as the diameter of the pump and screwed it into the bottom. This created a stopper for the pump, and solved the problem of the tube coming out.

I originally had a bicycle pump in place of the stock pump, but the distance on it was really bad mojo. So I had to go back.

I did a rough-cut on the cubby hole to test the mac mini LCD mount.

The cuts will be cleaned up later.

I took a dremel tool with a cutting bit and just went to town. Be careful on the air tank that you don't go too far in, the seal for the front of the tank is at the back of that small barrel and you don't want to accidentally tear that up, 'cause then you've got an Ex-Titan.

Here's the pump sealed up so that the overpressure release valve no longer comes into play.

Contrary to the catalog the window regulator requires 7" of clearance beneath the glass ... not 5-1/2 inch. I drilled new holes 1-1/4 inch higher to make up some of the difference. Some clearance needed.

After a quick build up (1x di2 makes it suuuper easy to set up a frame for test riding) and a somewhat unpleasant test ride (high handlebars are fine for some people, but not for me!)

Here's your stock titan with the shell removed, you can see the stupid amount of complexity that was introduced in order to provide the integration for the Scout and Hornet, there's also one more idiotic item to this gun, a ball-barring based restriction that doesn't allow the gun to fire if it's tilted up too far. I have no idea why this was even put in.

At this scale, adding wing cannons or weapons of any type would've spoiled the overall shape. This was a compromise.

Here you see the beginning of the 5-barrel shell, the barrels must be glued in this star pattern in order to fit into the shell casing. You can use a piece of 1/2" FBR in the center to keep things measured out.

good old one

Carriage 'Tambo' sits in the loco shed at Maldon while having one end modified into a platform like 'Yarra'. 20th June 2004.

Not seen in this picture is the two seats I've added in the back. What you can see is a spot for potted plant Groot (sounds more intimidating and threatening than "Baby Groot" to me.

Took a flight from Auckland to Nelson and drove the beast to Waihi.

Only some modifications to make a bored shot look beter

All that yellow staining? Gone! Using Magic Sponge and elbow grease :)

String the pieces together. Hubby helped :D (those are hubby's hands)
