The fenders AND the hood which is missing bumpers for laying down windshield. This shows in older pics before new paint so someone did a little customizing a long time ago. The look is cool though!
So, I just bought this Patrol….

Yes my grandfather make that fenders, I suppose, that the original rotted. these are much better because they are thicker and stronger.

And the windshield it's lock I don't know why. I preferred to leave it like that it wasn't worse to fix! :lol:

Great looking Patrol, Henryvzla !

3 things I really like about your car - 1) the family history connection, 2) you've made it look good but haven't gone overboard, and most importantly 3) you're out getting it dirty like it was meant for :clap:

cheers,
D
'71 P510 Wagon - the smile generator.
'74 G60H - strawberry farm patrol.
'78 G60H Ute Cab - the cherry on top.
'80 G61H - the start of things to come.
'92 Pulsar Ti - my SR20 powered daily driver.
'01 Kessner 7x4 - the pack horse.
'07 Challenge Camper - home away from home.
'09 Prado - the family fourby and her daily driver.
'14 200EXC - a chainsaw with wheels.

I like it a lot. 8-) I like the headlights. The bench seat actually looks vey much like the original seat styling and frame, but I have never seen a full bench in a Patrol. I like that, too.

You look very proud in your Patrol, as you should. I think you need to get more mud on it though. ;)
Beyond any hope for intervention
