No cowling kick vents I see. Interesting to see the differences in the body panel pressings.

Square headlights.

Wasabi has one of those bibs. It is truly something different.

Thanks for sharing Poe!

Pic taken at the Bakersfield Rally. Saw the rig 1st hand. Certainly unique. IIRC, that one set the Doc back over 100k!

Was it a custom build or an import?

A little bit of both if I recall. One of three done by TLC, using the shell from Brazil with inners from different vehicles.

I Have a set if new Bandi stamped aprons.......whY I have them I dunno....but they are neat

 

[madams557]

I stumbled across a brazillian website that looks like they sell replacement body parts for these trucks, but I can't tell if they are metal or fiberglass. They have the entire front clips availabe for the extended cabs, but it doesn't look like the four door models though.

See if I can't pull that site up again.

 

[madams557]

Okay, here is the site.

Not sure how good the prices are since the single door is R500 = $250~

No need to wait if you only want the body pieces. Though it looks like the frame is longer than even a FJ45 LWB/Troopy.

Here's a pretty good language translator... I'm pretty sure they speak Portugues in Brazil....
