    What about your insurance? Is there nothing in there that can cover you.

    I feel your pain mate, I've read a lot about your unfortunate luck with this rig, it just keeps getting worse doesn't it? Hopefully someone steals it and writes it off for you.

    I wouldn't be that lucky they only steal the neat good ones that you don't want stolen

    It will no doubt about it. Ill look into what newby suggested but I'm guessing they won't cover it which will mean cut and shut and no more paying insurance and always have it garaged unless I'm sitting in it

    The amount of work required to cut and shut it correctly is huge. You would need to cut well past where the rust stops and then go from there, would prob be a body off job. Can you look into a rolling chassis at all? These can go relatively cheap ( no diff centers just chassis with wheels. Then swap it all over.

    I think it's to big of a job (for me) but ill have a hunt around can't hurt making some calls. I gotta work something out lol I'm putting it back together in the morning then off to some panel shops see what they can suggest hopefully some better news than what I can imagine but it is damn ugly

    Bloody hell Healy!!! That is Farrkked mate!

    Give a couple of wreckers a call mate ans see about a chassis. You might be surprised.

    I will make a call for you tomorrow mate but can't promise anything. Full chassis swap would really be the only viable solution there.

    Or buy another and strip the car mate. I know you can't afford that mate but I am not sure you have a choice. This will be Never Ending and will suck the life and cash out of you mate.

    You need to have a bloody good think about moving forward any further with this car Healy. Seriously consider how much money you will throw at this car bud. I know this is to what you want to hear bud. DAMN!!

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.
