Lilith (6 days project)

Bebop · Apr 22, 2019

Guys,

You might remember the few 6 days projects I shared in the past.

The team from GoldenCoastCustoms is at it again, building another full tube crawler in 6 days.

That's everything from scratch in 6 days, including chassis, interior, wiring, etc, etc. The vehicle will be running and driving on Sunday.

They build in shifts and won't stop for 6 days.

Specs are as follow :

Land Rover V8 3.5L + 5 speed transmission and transfer case from a Range Rover
Nissan Patrol GQ axles
40" trepador tires on Raceline beadlocks
Airschocks, full hydro etc...

They are building it for Cecile, the current owner of my samurai that I sold after moving stateside :

You can watch the build live on youtube :

I forget. Was their a reason they do it in six days or is it just for the heck of it to see if they can?

The OG 6 days buggy was a challenge as the owner only could take 1 week off work.

The following they got during that week was insane so they kept doing 1 or 2 buggies this way per year. So far they made over 5 buggies this way and never failed.

They worked on the cage and wiring all night.

Both are almost done.

This week has been crazy. I finally get a chance to open it up and watch and it's flippin paused. Who do they think they are taking a break? Get back to work. You're not getting paid to take breaks. :****:

Dang!!! Sometimes it feels like it takes me more than 6 days to change a spark plug!

Bebop · Apr 28, 2019

After 6.5 days, the buggy drove out of the shop on its own.
