I will make it so the front looks like this so it all sits flush.

Yep, but how do you fill the gaps along side the draws??
As said father in-law has done his on the front and been that way for 15 years in his 80 series. Still as solid as the day he built it.
Quality ply, we used chip board screw and pre drilled and counter sunk the holes and it's a solid unit.
Screw every 100-150 mm along..
Another little tip, carpet your lid and then screw it down. If you carpet over the screws you'll never get it out in one piece..
And the liquid gel grip and cheap paint roller is awesome for large areas..

You can put on a false front, and while it may pull off, you still have the other bit of ply yo form a front and stop all your gear falling outImageUploadedByMotorculture1385031193.206238.jpg

Line the insides of the drawers with Carpet will help your load stay quiet off road. Avoid internal rails as they can catch you load and can be a pain in the arse when opening the drawers when they are full.
Incorporate a pull out table under the drawers Chris, easy to do and a real winner mate. If you want details I am happy to do a couple of sketches for you bud. Plunder heads second pic is a winner though.

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

Thanks for the advice guys!
Darren I will have a lid on one of the drawers to be used as a table. Kris has it in his GU and I love the idea, no loss of storage space and is easy peasy

Until you're cooking and you need something that's under the lid.
I have a pull out table that comes out from under my fridge slide. I can cook and access the fridge and the drawer all at once. One of the reasons I like the drawers set up with the fridge mounted low on one side and the drawers lined up on top of one another next to it.
