BUBBLES JR. BUILD THREAD

Post by PR »

As some of you might be aware we recently brought a zuki to replace Bubbles Safari
Image
and here she is :oops:
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
and along side Bubbles Snr
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
after a quick look over the rear the back had to go due to to much rust in the roof so brought the rear pillar forward
Image
Image
then it was decided to take the back off completly
Image
Image
Image
Image
the kids even helped out
Image
Image
so now it looks like this
Image
Image
Image
Image
and after a bit more work the back was striped
Image
Image
Image
Image
so I have alot more work to do and all before easter :shock:

Good Work Mr Bubbles.

Are you still thinking of moving the whole back forward or are you going to have no rear window?

that combined with this.. http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing ... =196626537 and you have some wider diffs under your zuk.

alternativly, are vitara rears offset? from my understanding they are the same width as hilux, with same size c/w. cheaper than prado...
