Well it's not a Land Rover but it's not a Toyota, bit of work to do before the 80 gets put up for sale, end product will be a medium wheel base 4.2 turbo patrol
The only thing i never liked about them Patrol's is the front grill and headlight set up , it looks like they copied a kids drawing which is a contradiction in my own thinking because i love it for the full size Tonka toy look
Sadly other things have gotten in the way of this build, like my 105, I have still been collecting parts for this project, however it my end up being a MWB ute as the body is in a worst state than I originally thought.
I think the trouble is they were squarely aimed at the roughnecks and battered around farms and the like so few survived . The 70 series is going the same way whereas the 80 and 90 series were better suited to the urban jungle and so good examples can still be found .
Grab what you can while you can i say as we will soon all be running around on one trip disposable electric skateboards with the way things are going .
And with the money earned from saving the planet we will soon be able to dump all the disposable crap they build nowadays on another planet .
A little bit overdue, half of the project Is complete, the body work and some of the mods have been done winch bumper, rear bar, rock sliders, internal roll cage ect.
Next on the list is the begin the engine conversion and paint.
Don't know how I missed this... but have to say looks simply epic!!! 2nd last pic above is fantastic too, just the coolest looking thing on the road... fabulous!
