Title: Jimny X 80"
Post by: w3526602 on September 22, 2019, 02:26:54 PM

Hi,

I'll keep this brief, and won't be offended if Wittsend cuts me off at the knees.

Jimny running chassis fitted with a LR 80" body. Actually, I think the Jimny is bigger than an *80". Fabricating an S1 bulkhead is not difficult ... I've done it twice already.

So ... what price front panel (new) front wings (2) bonnet, doors (2) and a tub and tail-gate, windscreen, and maybe a seat-box? That should be enough for starters. Hmmm! Plywood doors ... two sets ... one pair with integral windows .. one pair without.

Or would I be better just getting my coat?

 At todays prices for 80" bits   :agh :agh    you'd be better off buying Series 2 bodywork  :tiphat

The CKD shop sell all the 80" series one panels new now. Have a look on their website for prices

Hi Landyowner,

Thanks for that. At least it puts a ceiling on the price of second hand parts. Somebody once suggested that the hot-rod fraternity were responsible for new parts being available for older cars.

Try a Google for JAGA JEEP BODY FOR SALE .

Hi again,

just switching off, but tried a Google first ... and found this...
For Sale (https://www.hemmings.com/classifieds/cars-for-sale/land-rover/88-series/2261894.html)


Not for me, unfortunately.
