I started with an old 1975 FJ40 F2/4SPD.

The tub has literally rotted off :smack:what appears to be a solid frame.

I have a set of 1979 axles setting ready to add disk brakes.
![Think... :think:](https://board.marlincrawler.com/Smileys/marlin/think.gif)
The plan:
1. replace with steel panels on the outside :help:but replace the floor and wheel wells in aluminum

2. disk brakes oin the front
3. Ditch the ambi doors in the back and go with a hatch from a 74. Close the tub solid in the back for a solid body
4. Fab a cage so tight that it's not in the way.

5. add a front facing rear seat with seating mods upfront to allow access
