AEV Brute Expedition Build in Dubai

[Oman4x4]

It's sitting in my house at the moment to free up some space in the workshop. Hoping to have the interior 3D scanned in the next 2 weeks and then it goes back into the shop to continue the re-assembly.

Here's some pictures from when we had it out at a Off Road & Adventure car show though. It's getting there! The paint was barely dry in these pictures and hadn't been polished so excuse the orange peel!

Today's update... all the frame and suspension work is sandblasted and off for coating... can't wait to take pictures of it re-assembled and sitting on it's wheels.

The body is also being prepped for paint... but we have one last body modification to finish up - a little enhancement to the hood. The vents are from a 2014 Mustang GT and we plan to recess them so they sit flush exactly as they would on the Mustang, so the plan is to make a series of templates that will show the area to cut out and the area to recess. First template will be a rough-cut to relieve the tension on the metal, then there will be another template for the final cut marks to ensure the clips all bite properly.

Some pics of the process so far:

Vents in place on the hood... time to start making the templates...

WOW

Totally stealing this idea for my Brute!

The hood looks incredible...well of course the entire jeep looks spectacular.
