battle cruiser, 1980 hj60

[2roky]

giday just bought a 1980 hj60, stock standard at this point in time running a 4.2 petrol 2F motor,

1st of the jobs wont be anything to drastic but a undertaking in its self is sorting out all the rust in the panels and in the firewall
(any hints and tips would be appreciated here) im wanting to get it back up to warrent standards,

the 2nd is to replace the busted rear diff or axle (not sure what it is yet)

the 3rd cut it into a double cab

the 4th will be to coil spring it

5th and final will be to fit a v8

that is the basic plans things will change allong the way







ill try to remember to take pics and keep this updated as i go

Is that the one in Dunedin that's been on trademe for a while? Good to see it will get a new lease on life.

yep certainly is, the interior is still really tidy for its age as well
