Damn nice job Jack !!
At least there is 30% less rust to cut out now
Look forward in seeing how the old girl performs !!
Maybe Levuka 2 trip ???

Top job !!!

yea im definitly in for the next levuka trip, should be camping this time too

Must have a look at how you did this, been thinking of the same thing about the bullet, I'm sick of belting the arse end off-road (a 4 door one would look weird but I like to be different).

Something to ponder

4 door ones look choice

like this one but forget the rear quater window - just rivet in an aluminium panel

happy to fill you in on the whole process next time i see ya - much easier than i though it was going to be

Was having a think about it, the only issue with my Rangie is that the body is welded together not bolted like the earlier ones (easy enough to source a earlier rear innner frame without rust). This is why older Rangies are better to mod than they're later model counterparts.

The chequer plate window sounds like my sort of thing, dunga spec all the way

Trav

Looks tops Jack - love to look at how you did it.

Trav,

having the rear section that the door and window mount to unbolt made it perfect - if that bit is welded im sure you could still cut it and then drill it and bolt back together

if the roof still un-screws on later models that would be perfect too

i did the whole job in probably 4 to 5 solid days with the only welding on the chassis - got to love tek screws and pop rivets
