Does anyone know who supplies fibreglass bodies for bolting onto existing chassis?
My son has picked up a short wheel base Landcruiser (probably mid 70's) and has started doing it up. I've suggested that maybe he should look at getting a fibreglass body instead of doing too much work on the current body. I'm sure I have seen Jeep look-alike bodies in some magazine years ago.

Hi,
OzEast as mentioned earlier make a great range of fibreglass bolt ons for the Toyotas.
My son has built up a 1975 Toyota FJ40 shortie and has used full fibreglass replacement panels he purchased from them. Does cost a bit and I think his complete car cost about $8,000.00 in fibreglass alone.
He has gone the whole bit with a chev v8 etc and it has turned into a nice truck but he has spent a lot of money on it.
There is another guy at
Bribie Island who was doing it but in my opinion the Ozeast moulds and finished product are better.
My son went to fibregalsss as he had built up two previous FJ40's in metal but these were very susceptible to rust even with rustproofing.
You can also get panels etc from Eureeka (not 100% sure of spelling) who are in
Melbourne. They specialise in FJ40 gear and will ship anywhere in the country.
Hope it all goes
well.
