I can see a halon fire extinguisher, a weird heater core, a funny floor pan, an esky between the seats (some FJ/HJ 45/47 had bucket seats) so not necessarily unoriginal. But probably.

The weird panel that makes the bonnet go up on an angle freaks me out.

Its a 60 series column for sure. I doubt it would have 60 diffs and a spring under, no real reason for it.

I know the guy who owns it, it has a 60series chassis with 40 series body work. He starts the car on normal diesel then when it has warmed up, runs waste vegetable oil in the old 2h motor from a second fuel tank. He is retired and all he does is travel around the country and spend time at his farm in the southern highlands. Yes it is Nerriga pub.

I can tell its higher but looking at the interior shot i dont think its wider. The dash and winscreen look standard width.

it's not a 25 series. they didn't have a bezel around the headlights, and they had horizontal chrome slats running between the headlights over the grille.

I would like to say what a good combination that is.
anyone who runs a 40 body on a 60 chassis cant be bad at all :cool:

i obviously didnt go far enough with the body mods on mine though, people still see its a 40 series.

Ask him to explain the freaky bonnet angle. BJ is still having kittens about it I'm sure. :D
