This is the one i was looking at, but after messaging the guy 800 times, calling him, sending him letters, postcards, an owl and 12 telegrams I decided he just didnt want to sell, so well done on getting in touch!

Looks like a nice little tin top, all you need to do now is chop the back off and tray back it :brows:

Ha, yeah it wasn't that easy to get in touch with him, but to be fair, once I did he was actually alright and was good enough to deliver it for me.

Yeah I might trayback it actually, I didn't think of that!

I'm currently thinking of doing the following:

YJ conversion
Rocklobster
Samurai axles with 413 diffs.
Considering full float at a later date but not too fussed at the moment.
1.6 engine swap.
VL with whatever tyres fit, probably 31s, maybe 33s.

Most of that should be easy enough to do in a relatively short space of time once I've accumulated the parts.
