Here's a pic of the engine and chassis, where it's currently stands at the moment, a pic of what I am hoping it will look like in the body when that is completed. Will have a roof on there as well.
For those that don't know the 40 series landcruiser, basically meccano set stuf and is simple to work on. Getting a ute body and welding the front 3/4's on to rear 7/8ths of a swb body after chopping off the front bib and scuttle. will be a 4 door 40 series running coils all round and the turbo diesel from the current 70 series and 200 series landcruisers. Things can get 250kw and 1000NM after some mods to the turbo, GTurbo, and a tune.
As the GU Patrol axles are a bit wider than the 40 series ones, 200mm to be exact, I will be widening the body by about 50-75mm as I dont want to look out of proportion. This is easy done as it's pretty much one piece of steel sheet and not the complicted stuff we get today.
A while to go though, but plan on completion by this time next year.
