Default WTF IS GOING ON?!?! landcruiser thread (5 tons of pics)

started pretty simple...









then went to this:


















to explain, i am running it mid engine. the motor is in between the 2 rear seats, but there wasn't enough room for 2 seats and a 383 chevy smallblock, so i cut both sides off and widened it 6 inches on each side.

more:































just gluing it back together...

onward to the cage:









yes, the sunroof still works...

39's anyone?







more cage:





sparco's?



still coming together:











ruffstuff ford 9 inch housings...











mounting the engine and tranny:







suspension!!!













resume in next post...

This is available at times... "LC80 land cruiser body from COLT"... I recently ordered 2 of them to play with (haven't received them yet). The WB is 260mm, width is 190mm, length is 440mm...
