You mean it has wheels and rolls?
I mean the key components are fitted. Or all the big heavy bits if you will. The body is also on the chassis the dash is area is completly bare ready for rhd swap.

Looking to get the dash in this week so i can bin the bulkhead from
The old body. I can now start re stretching the rear too which is going to be fiddly.

Tin top - next month :thumbup: so i can get out and do some muddy antics this year.

The original lwb body was so shite covered with nasty oily underseal and crud that when i went to collect
Some parts from sam and saw this body my plans changed
To the lwb as a good usable daily to replace my tin top
(Lwb rides nicer and has a bigger load area)
And mod the tin top as the arches are prime vl candidates.
The lwb just needs to be good solid and reliable. Im not going
For a brand new looking truck,just one thats solid and got years of life in it. The running gear used had 47k on it so should be good
For a long while.

Pretty much the same plan as me Andy.....I'm building my lwb as a nice comfortable daily with small tyres.

then i'm going to rip the blue sj apart to use all the toys for a proper offroad toy (eventually :lol: )
