Y60/61 rolling chassis wanted
Before you cart that old vrot Safari off to the scrapyard, consider a donation to a worthy cause: the Safari Sani Project.
The plan is to graft a Nissan Sani 4x2 or 4x4 Mark 3 (MY 1997/8) body onto a Safari chassis.
Why? Because the D21 chassis, steering and drivetrain sucked.
The wheelbases are virtually identical, so no wheel-arch mods will be required. Any other mods (gearbox tunnel, etc) are not a huge issue.
So a fairly solid chassis with axles would be the minimum. If you can add the transfer box and prop-shafts, what a bonus.
This is a budget build, so cheapies only please.
Thanks in advance.

Re: Y60/61 rolling chassis wanted
Jakes die Safari is 'n MQ
Die MQ en die Y60/Y61 het dieselfde wheel base - 2970mm.
Dit hang af wat se suspensie jy wil gebruik - die MQ het bladvere voor en agter en die Y60/Y61 het kronkel vere voor en agter.

Eish Herrie daar wys ek my Patrollie onkunde!
Ja ons soek seker bladvere want dis die gooedkoopste op die oomblik, ek glo nie 'n coil veer chassis is goedkoop nie? Of hoe?
Die Safaris raak nou redelik BAIE oud en die bodies is seker meestal lekker gaar geroes.
Check net my nommers asb: ek het die Safari se wheelbase op 2970mm?
(NS: die projek gaan saam met BFreeSani gedoen word)

Jinne Oom Mac jy kan maar 'n thread hijack hoor!
En JA, as Dawie happy is, gaan ons Hillbilly 'n MOUNTAIN GOAT maak!
Ek sal die bakkie chassis vat, geen probleem nie. Mits dit vrek goedkoop of beter, verniet is.

Does anybody maybe want the engine, body, bullbar and trim?
I want the chassis and complete drivetrain.
