[IMG]http://i860.photobucket.com/albums/a...1-1024x768.jpghttp://i860.photobucket.com/albums/a...6-1024x768.jpg
Its been used as a company car before i got it.
I am still working on getting it ready for the Danish inspection
Ned to do it every 2 year
I have completed all the work under the car. New brakes, bearings, etc.
(no styling yet.. Only after the inspection...:) :) )

New timing belt kit
New injectors nozzels
Filters. And drive belts.
ohh and a new windshield

Looks like a great great project for you
-
oooohhh that looks really good.
-
Looks very tough mate I want one like that
Tapp tillya Crap

That last pic???? It looks like you removed that like you would a fibreglass canopy?? has this been converted to a Ute and the lid put back on as a removable canopy? That'd be pretty cool!
And the back window of the cab looks like it s in line with the middle of the back door? is this an Extra Cab conversion? Some more pics would be great, very unusual conversion.
Look forward to seeing the final result mate.
-
Very nice mate, keep us informed with the build for sure!
-
@ MudrunnerTD. Yes the roof is a cut out.
And the roof can be put back on if you want to
The wall where the rear window is sitting and the buttom on the trunk is made in 2 ps aluminium.
And there is a rubber thing holding it all togethe.
Its something to do whit the tax on the car when you by it from new..
This car is what we in Denmark call "Made for yellow numberplates" The car is cheaper from new and you pay less road tax
To get the Yellow Plates.!
You ned to remove the rear seats, and you ned to block the acces fro driverseat to the rear of the car you need a "cage " I wil take some picīs later of the "cage" ..:)
Some crazy old rules.
-
Nice option, Nissan should offer it world wide.

I had to get away from the problem i have on timing the pump. :(

But soon it vil be nice again. :)
-
I am going to re use the lights on the bull bar
they are fine inside but ned some new paint

Got the engine started to day.. woo hooo.. Nice sound..:)
Now i only need to take the car out to my buddyīs workshop
to adjust the headlights and the load valve on the rear brakes.
Then its ready for inspection.
And then i can get the plates.

Nice ride mate.... very interesting conversion its had, I like the idea of having a removable roof but its a shame you've had to lose the rear seats
-
that is certainly one of the most different patrols i have seen before. thanks for sharing mate.
-
I got it out from the shop now
I had a smalle problem on the gauge unit in the tank..

Great option, I agree that it should be offered world wide, when I retire I might have a go at doing it myself
-
That looks cool. Kind of like duel cab style side ute. Very flexible platform.
Tuff As Nuts.
-

And i got the "stamps" ..:)
But now the turbo is dead..! :(

In the first couple of pics, I didn't even notice it had a removable rear section, until I got down the page a little and thought wow, you have been busy....and then I went back up the top for a closer look....

OK.. Some update on my baby.. :)
Its running sooo fine..
The only problems i had was the powersteering leaking
got some new hoses and problem was fixed.
And the Diff. Lock was making problems.
So i put in new hoses for the vacum. And problem was gone.
Comming up:
Made a deal with a dude from Polen
He will put in new fenders and paint the hole car.. :)
and then another polish dude will do leather interior.
Why Polen..?
I save about 60% taking my Patrol to Polen compared to the prices in Denmark..
EVERYTHING is cheap in Polen.. ;)
And its only about 8-9 hour drive from here.. he eh
(and again sorry for my bad spelling)
-
8-9 hrs ... Fark I hate driving 1 hr sometimes haha
