Mate, that looks sweet!
Top effort and hope it all works well for you, great build
Since I can't do to much until it has been engineered, I have taken the time to do little things on the bus..
Closing in the rear hubs, Passanger side will has a deep cycle battery set up and wiring for all the the bits i will add and right hand side don't know yet.... think of something down the track

More bits, BRITE LED TECH.. Cracker price and top quality.....
100 x100 led work lamps with 120 degree coverage....

Giving myself plenty of work.... I'm really pushing the 47day & 8hrs till Neerum Creek, heaps of time If i didn't run a business and house Reno's 24/7...
NO engineer on friday, called up late afternoon and cancel. :( hoping for some good new for the weekend... ohh well.
I have a LED light bar turning up next week and finally getting around and ordering the XROX bar...
So getting ready for that. Removed the driving/spotlight from the bonnet to the roof.

Also refitted the trimming inside the cab around the back hubs and seatbelt area...
nice truck, love the ute chop and the v8 install! be great to see it out 4 wheeling!
More bit LED light bar.

Just waiting on the the xrox bar..also order 1 for my other 4x4 coming next year.... not a nissan but work/fishing touring rig.
And after getting let down by the engineer i have found myself a better one. He Has been so easy to work with and knows his stuff..... And best thing is ,since I have taken my sweet arse time the rules/laws have changed and made things easier.
As the cab cut are getting more common it just has to be certified by a compliant engineer and when he is happy with everything...
So I feel like i'm getting some where now...If I stop bloody changing my mind..
platform rack to hold spare and highlift.

Well the hard work is all done, the truck is all painted and the ready for engineering. Hopefully he will be happy with the changes that he requested.
Just had the px ranger canopy done and the blokes there are up for doing me some custom bar work on the QG.

Very cool mate, could also mount a fishing rod on the other side...lol
cool idea, I have made up for the front bar, but I can make something up for my smaller rod.
Awesome ride!
Look forward to seeing your beast in action. Looks fantastic.

Big news, moved patrol from the build area to the front to try and jump start the other Datsun.
Reckon she looks bloody cool and different. Not long now , and have a different idea on how to share the love I have spent on this old girl to you all.
awesome looking rid, nice build. I would bee wicked driving it around.
keep it up
Sending the Patrol into semi retirement. I have had no time of late to work on the truck as I have a new non nissan 4x4 where money and time Actually out off-roading.
I still have plans for the old girl but at his stage I am taking her off the road.
Very much man sad that it has come to this and I don't have it in me to sell the old girl. Plus I like this forum...
I hope when it comes to re-registering the truck Qld transport will play nice...:p
I still feel once this truck when complete will be one very different looking qg patrol. (I feel its possible)
spewn mate i was hoping to see the end of this build to see what the final look and result will be.. AH well you get that on the big jobs
Im still 100% committed in finishing the Patrol, but don't no how long it will take...
nice mate bet she goes good to
