Introduce yourself!
JB, you should give some thought to making some CF hard covers. I'm sure you'd sell a few!
F8B EFI turbo - Three pots and a snail.
Funny you should mention that, as it is also on the drawing board. I have plans to make one for my car that incorporates/replaces the tailgate, it will hinge from the front of the tray, and lock at the base of the tailgate opening, a one piece 'L' shaped panel.
That sounds pretty cool!

Welcome Peter,
I'm a new boy myself.
FleaBay is great when it works in your favour
My MB has the small block, and too has some problems.
But I am ironing them out - one by one.

Never Really heard of the 500cc refered to as a 'small block'.
No Dramas really I quite like it.

Really? That's been a term thrown around for a while, except usually referring to the F8B as a big block.

Actually I should refer to it as a "tiny block"
Apart from my Rangie (which has a 4.4L) I also have a 82 Ford ESP which has a 5.8L. So that would be a "massive block"

Welcome to the new guys!
The bug bits hard doesn't it? I like the idea of the one piece tub lid & tailgate, but it might be hard if you want to fit something bigger than tub size in there, to have the lid up a bit to fit cargo leave's it open where the tailgate once was....... Maybe the lid could be 2 pieces, to function as a lid & tailgate when needed, but normally operates as 1 piece.
Anyway, i've drawn up plans for a lid for my tub. I've done plans 2 ways, one with the " bars " still on the boy, the other with the " bar's " removed. Still not sure which way i'm going. I'm thinking about the lid being something like 20x20 box tube alloy with a skin of fiber glass over the top of it.
Just gotta wait for summer to come around again, so i can get out into the driveway to start the project.

It's update time MB Parts list! send part info to toranaguy74@optusnet.com.au|
I am not too far off starting the tray cover/tailgate pattern, and as I plan on combining the two panels into one part/mould I will be able to make a solid tray cover without the tailgate if need be, so there is a chance I will be able to provide these to other members at a later date. My red MB is undergoing a restoration at the moment, but I am coming up on the tray cover project in the next few weeks I hope!
Hi everyone I'm Mercury, I'm from S.A. and have had my mightyboy for about....8-9 years. I got it when I was about 12 or 13, Dad brought it for me to learn how to drive. Paid $150 for it As a kid I always wanted to do it up but found it more fun to thrash the s**t out of it instead. After years of inglect it's in really bad condition and now that I'm a bit older I'm in a better position to start my dream built. I've got a Toyota Supra that I have been working on in the last few years and have come to the end of it's body mods. So I'm looking at rebuilding the Mightyboy from the ground up. I don't know what I'm going to do style wise or even if I'll get the project will get off the ground I'm just trying to prepair myself for a lot of hard work. I hope to pick your brains on all things MB related
