Patrol 160 from Latvia

[Emulator]

Hello everyone!

I'm a pertolhead (and also a Patrolhead) from Latvia. Besides few other project cars, one project i'm working on is a Patrol 160/260 hybrid.
Nissan Patrol 160 was the first import car i ever saw as a kid.
Ever since then, a Patrol meant something special to me. So few years ago I bought a '97 Spanish K260 with 2.8Diesel.
Body was in great shape, but the frame was rusted badly. I was lucky to get another car, which was '87 K160 SD33T with badly rusted body, but the frame, transmission and engine in a great shape. So i decided to swap the body and repair everything that needs to be done along the way.

few more things that i have done lately:

* installed front ARB air locker, with complete front axle overhaul - bearings, seals etc.
* Made new shackle bolts and bushings since the old ones were worn out and the only place to get new shackles is Australia (which is 100 USD shipping-cost-far) :)
* Bought new magnesium alloy wheels and new 33" mud tires
* Re-arched front (so far) leaf springs to get +6 cm lift without spending a cent :) (3rd picture after the lift, 5th picture before lift)
