Hi Guys and gals
the front of my comp truck is beaten up pretty badly and i have decided its time to fix her up. I need a new front clip (quater panels gril headlight surround) i like the look of the coily model I know they are different but has anyone fitted a coily front onto a leafy and how much work is involved any help would be great.
Cheers
Dave

The cowl on a coiler is a different shape so the bonnet doesn't line up with the cowl - there re photos somewhere - it's pretty ugly.

The leaf bonnet doesn't line up with the coil grille either.

you can bolt on the SJ80 nose cone and bonnet onto the earlier SJ's and the back of the bonnet sits 30mm higher than the cowl panel, Imo it looks good, it gives it a bit of a hot rod look but it will steam up your windscreen pretty bad when you go through water crossings.
