Changes on my patrol

Post by Patrol Nam »

Hi Guys. I am new here so if I get or post something wrong, be patient.

Ok So I bought a 1995 ( or so the previous owner said) Nissan patrol Straight six 4.2L TB42.

I am currently in progress to cut her up into a double cab " bakkie style". Now she is not in such a good condition rust wise. But all will be taken out and done up nicely. Will post pics (Before and after) as she progresses.

Has anyone done this before and is there any problems you ran into that might save me time and off course money.
Does any one know where I can get fender flares for the Nissan?

THX :salute:

Being alive is a Blessing!!

My 1985 Safari was 'n bakkie en dit is deur Meano brothers omgebou na 'n double cab, sal fotos soek.

Baie dankie aan al die verwelkommings. En baie dankie aan al die raad. Ek sal so gou moontlik fotos oplaai van hoe sy nou lyk en sodra ons begin wat als gedoen word en die veranderings.

Weereens baie dankie. Charley
