Hi, everyone, thank you for letting me join this forum. I live in Mackay Australia. I am currently building a 45/80.( FJ45 cabin on a 80 series chassis with a 1HDT engine. Pictures attached of the cabin when first brought, during rust repairs and where it is at currently. Cheers

You build might be better off in the hard core section.
Nice looking work!

That's some really nice work going on there! Beautiful! What's the plan for the back, tray and canopy or utility bed?

So, 80+45=125?

That's awesome.
A 40-ish that could ride like an 80.

Thank you. Will be a aluminium tray with a removable canopy.

Retro spares in Australia. It is a vintage air product.

Where did you source the bulkhead for AC connection/ penetration between firewall and engine bay?
