Thought I should put in some more effort and share the build of my old BJ73, medium wheel base....you know, those FRP top models. For those that like the option of spending too much time removing the top, turning it into a convertible, only for it to rain and have mud thrown at you the next outing.
Like any new project, I bought the base for the build and then it sat there for many months while I pondered what I should do to it. I've been recording the initial inspection and build here BJ and the Bear (70 Series)
I think Ive finally settled on the outcome. However, it requires an interesting modification to the FRP top. Basically I want to chop the back half of the FRP top, enclose the cabin and turn it into a ute.
The FRP top has a natural cut line, (red dotted line) but the question I am pondering is enclosing it by moulding a fibreglass panel into the remainder of the FRP top.
Anyone done something similar.
Here is the inspiration.....
