Hello from Under Down Under!
Definitely one of the coolest GQs around mate, looks tuff as!
Is the roll cage going through the dash on each side.???
Are you just doing flat sheetmetal on the back???

aussie 6 to8 grand for a rear chop some charge 10 to 15k
then again some can do with mate for 2-3k

Hello from Under Down Under!
Thanks guys. Aussie I did this all myself and I'm opening my own fab shop in Brisbane as of next week doing all this type of work. A lot of guys pay about $8000 and some pay $3000. At the end of the day it's the old story...you get what you pay for. I did mine with a lot of thought and didn't just throw a grinder at it. Everything is fully welded. I used no more then half a litre of bog. And that was a skim down the sides and I little around the back window.
Taslucas thanks mate. As for seeing it next to a tray back ill put a photo up later. I finally took the old girl out of the shed today
