GQ rear 1/4 cut !!!

[moose]

some nissan buffs have inquired about doing this !!!!
so hear are some pics !!!!!!
we did the cut , the owner is doing the bar work !!!!!

Are they the later model rear lights, with the reverse lights converted to indicators?

So Moose

Did yooose infill back up under that section (of course u would of ) but wat did you use ............. because once cut im sure it would leave a nice shape to fill (upon lookin under my new beatsy ). i was lookin at foldin a lip round piece that would fill hole and run a couple of s/s rivets to hold securely in place then just sikoflex round join to seal , your info will b great matey...........

Tail lights look sweet cool idea

But that rear bar looks fishy is that only exhaust pipe???????????....

I do realise it aint your work..

I've just done mine and i used after market tail lights from 4x4 aus. in Brendale, they cost me $30 for the pair using mine for a trade.
For my bumper i used 100x100x3 square and 100x50 for the edges.
Looks good but i don't have a digi camera, so no pics. :(

MK , yes they are late model lights , with indicator inside !!!!!
runs seperate reverse lights !!!!!!
A1 , made a template of shape , then cut out from previous roof chops , & then MIG into place , then body sealer inside !!! (taillights out)

worst part of doing the job is the initial cut !!!!!
the 9" grinder needs to be about 11" to do it in 1 cut !!!!!!

Air hacksaw with a full blade does both sides at once no sparks, no heat

I folded mine up after cutting most of the meat away and welded it shut. Didn't have to add anymore steel, and with a bit of care didn't damage the paint folding the outside face up...

Thanks Moose. That is pretty much exactly what I am looking at doing. Damn it gives the arse end a lot more clearance!

Does the bar that comes under the 1/4 panels towards the rear tyre bend back in and mount onto the chassis or is it cantilevered off the rear bar?

folded version of the same thing from back in the good old days!
