Hj60 full restoration

[Iwan]

Last year I made a decision to restore my hj60 which I bought off ebay when I was pissed up!!
It included a body swap and weld up, chassis clean up and paint up, suspension change, body refit with 65mm alu body spacers, then came the rebuilding of doors and a pro respray.
With knowing and doing a job like this, it took pure determination to make it happen to get it finished.
Last november I got it through its mot and when I drive it now I realise that it was made from 2 scrap 60's and 100's of hrs!
I have many pictures on a file which I would like to add to show what I and 2 good friends have done.
Any one out there who can assist???

Cheers Gav, for the easy format! The pics take me back! Wheels a little small on all the pics! Got Kumho kl71 33x12.5x15 on 10" modular wheels all round, plastered in mud and a few branch scratches! If you got something, you might as well use it! (Carefully!)

Looks lovely. What did you do to the interior?

 

[Iwan]

With the interior, I had two sets of interior one set of carpets were very dirty with good seats and the other the opposite! Have a set of original GX floor mats in good condition. So a process of choosing the best and hoovering . Only thing had two drivers seats with usual holes in!

 

[Nick Shepherd]

A lot of folk swap the drivers and passenger's seats over, if you've got two passenger seats you might be on to a winner
