MRT1TRD Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Keep windows but use perforated vinyl to make it look all metal but still allows you to see what you are running over, also alot cheeper than making metal patches then hours of work straightening the panel because any low or high will show up badly on such a big flat panel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch.W Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 that height is perfect!!! i say keep them in and slam the back to match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shakotom Posted September 14, 2014 Author Share Posted September 14, 2014 Unfortunately it's got clearance issues at that height, tyres scrub on guards at lock, and steering rods contact sway bar. So probably looking at like 20 mm higher than what it's at (should be bang on 100mm ground clearance) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllTorque Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Don't forget the front will come down more when you put a 350 in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyingbrick Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Any random bits needed that I might have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shakotom Posted October 20, 2014 Author Share Posted October 20, 2014 Been eyeing that one up on trademe, I like the stripes. Very 80s. Not overly sure what I'm missing right now, need to get the screen back in so I can reassemble the dash and go from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingbrick Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Sweet well I dunno if your dash is the same as WB but if you need good vents or whatever flick me a PM as mine came with spares I'm not using. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shakotom Posted December 5, 2014 Author Share Posted December 5, 2014 I thinking more polished wood floor, lined walls and roof, led lights, a basic stereo and a matress to set the mood 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
