Yes, I bought another one!
1986 SJ413 Tintop
Bought it to break for spares (i've been after some SJ413 diffs for a while) although now I've had a good look at it the body is VERY good for an 86 Tintop.
so I think the plan will still be to break it but repair the body and stick it onto a Samurai chassis
Can't go breaking up a good tiptop body

I love the way us SJ owners consider stuff like that to be very good bodywork!
You can see a load of the front wing has rusted away!
Most other motorists would call it scrap but we call it an easy repair job

Did you read that first post?
Its not getting scrapped Tom, i'm sticking the body on a Samurai chassis.
I have a good front end so I'll dump the wings on this one and just use the body itself
Rollcage seems a weird design, I won't be using it anyway

Its pretty good inside, rear arches are perfect, as is behind the seats.
One bit that does need sorted is the front footwells (don't they all) but the body tub itself is good, might end up as my daily driver
