Builds SteelArts BJ42 Landcruiser Build

[Zimm]

the second go around with the doors looks much better. aesthetically, i think its 3-4 inches short somewhere. i cant quite put my finger on it though.

Cheers.

Well it took a bit longer than expected but when I got home tonight my new 40 series was sitting in the yard. Looking good to start the first rear door on the weekend.

SteelArt, here is an interesting take on doors, maybe there is something here you could incorporate.

Subscribed, you work quick man!

Yeah that is a sweet build, seems he has my problem and doesn't know any better

Well looks like it is raining outside so a weekend of welding is looking good, if all goes to plan should have one rear door and jig all sorted to post some pics.

Thanks for the specs on your mounts! Looks like about 2.8 inches apart and 9 inches tall, those are rounded #.

Steelart, Where are the progress shots??? I'd imagine you'd have it painted by now. We have been waiting patiently but the time has come to show us the good.

It is with great interpretation that I want to take my BJ and turn it into a 4 door and you seem to be the first person to do it.

It looks great so far and I'm positive it will be killer.

Cheers

This car has inspired me I saw you 4th post in this thread and thought that is the wheelbase and look I am after, you have even got me thinking of a coil over conversion (This is going to cost me lol!)

Wow reading this, you were on such a good roll. Too bad it has dropped off, but I am sure hoping to see the finished product one of these days.
Cheers

How's this thing coming along now????

 

[whats the deal]

This was one of the first builds I looked up on Mud. Great build... Wonder how it turned out?

So when Steelart sold up in Oz and moved to the US, I ended up buying this rig. Ended up just going for a stretched 40 look instead of the 4 door hardtop. The 4 door and hardtop thing would have been awesome to do, but it doesn't suit the wheeling I do. (from experience with my old silver 40).

Heres a few pics of how it looks now. Its heading down to Brooksys in a couple weeks time for roll cage, sliders, tube flares, tube gaurds, and front and rear bars.

Anyway, my reason for digging this thread up, and it might be a long shot, but did anyone save any of the original buildup pics Steelart posted. He's lost most of them when a hard drive crashed. Would love a copy of any some of you may have.

Cheers, Dave.

I thought I had them but must have been on my old PC that crashed.

Love the direction this is heading. Are those 37's or 40's?
