hi guys new to the forum, Im hamish and I'm from New Zealand. got a question my 413 has quite a rusty body so i cut the back of for a ute conversion as most of the rust was in the back but its turning into a huge job. this morning i came across a sj80 body in reasonable condition with minimal rust in it and was thinking about putting that on my 413 chassis. how hard would this be? have many people done it before?
Cheers in advance.

Re: sj body swap
We didn't get the SJ80 here.
I wouldn't imagine it wouldn't be hugely different to another straight like for like body swap. I looked up a few images of a SJ80 chassis and the rails and body mounts look to be the same just with different brackets for the suspension components. Someone else might know different though.
