It's a prick to cut but will be easy to seal up when done I'm half way through left hand side just following the barn door and light I'm turning dummy lights into working ones aswell it's the best solution for now as my bar was all trashed and barely connected also
IF ITS NOT BROKEN IT MUST BE A PATROL
So that's the left basically cut just gotta clean it up abit started the right there is no wires to move on either side as there in a high enough spot and fuel lines don't get in the way either ill do a rite up one day I am taking photos my departure angle is gonna be great after this
It's only cost me $70 to get what I need to do the job I've got all the tools already to do the job
Actually healy i think your a bit off with your cost of the job, personally IMO i rekon it will cost more around the $500 mark if not more, i could be wrong tho. First up the cut and shut, thats easy you get some flat sheet say 2mm thick maybe some off cuts from a sheet metal place and you weld it in, seam seal it and paint it. Your after market tail light will cost you say $100 a pair your wire them in BUT. Coz you got rid of the lights on the bumper your spare tyre now will live on the roof basket unless you want a defect. You still need to give it some form of protection so you make quarter bars, not with 2mm exhaust pipe coz its pretty much useless if it takes a strike but out of some 4mm steam pipe and some 4mm flat plate, say you want a double tube like your pic you'll need atleast 4 elbows say at $30 each the some straight pipe probably at around $30 a meter and just to be safe you get 3 meters and that will need to be painted or powder coated so another $50. You'll also need to make mudflaps so you dont get pinged for that aswell, say that cost you $20 for the pair.
Just from my rough guessing of prices i just cost you $380 assuming you can get the 2mm and 4mm flat plates for nothing and you don't get a bigger roof basket.
I said to do a body swap coz the simple fact of the matter is, eventually more rust is going to pop up and i was looking at the bigger picture or you could say my own logic. I'm not trying to knock you mate, i rekon thats a top effort having a crack at some serious body mods and good on you for having a go and i'm just saying to look at the long term and not the simple fix now....
Too late now the cuts begun ^^^

Yeh i know growler, i was just pointing out other expenses plus he can always change the cab later on down the track if he has to.
Actually it's gonna cost me the $100 mark as I have a pipe bender and steel already in the garage welder also in garage I've got it all sitting in my garage it's gonna cost $100 out of my pocket so as I said $100
Add another $40 on for beers.
