Buying a wreck like this would have to be the cheapest swap, will give you everything you need plus some parts to flog off to recoup some cost (diffs etc)

This looks like a very good option too. Strip out the engine, box, loom and whatever else you want the sell the rolling Dual Cab Cut down GQ for reasonable coin.

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.
