Okay, let me introduce my car. English is not my first language, so I will write less, and I'd rather add more pictures
*
The previous Patrol (2.8 swb) was my start of the world of overland, but i quickly realized that the short version of the Patrol was not exactly the best fit for exploring the world, and therefore decided to buy a long version of Patrol. Fortunately, just then (though for a long time), a poor one was on sold, which I took under my hands.
The car looked good on the first look, and it was still original, which is for me a good start for the car to be made according to my wishes.
Already in the purchase, I noticed some of the consequences of accident, which the car apparently experienced once in the past, but I did not notice any major consequences until the car was taken apart. But more about this a little later ...: wink:
Thus, the car came to my hands on November 14, 2014, then waited a good year and a half for the my good will and, of course, the financial resources for the implementation of the project.

We took the car to a friend, also a passionate overlander, on June 20, 2016, and he was who has contributed significantly to the realization of my wishes. His father is even more a contributor who has resigned his premises and all the tools.It's right to thank the both man in this place, because without them, this project would probably never have seen the light. Thank you.

As I mentioned, the car was in the first place in good condition, without major damage, just the first pillar was somehow repair by some guy pretty fast.
The chassis also seemed to be perfectly protected, with no spots of rust on typical places for a Patrol, the exception was only the engine that ran, but stirred water and oil, so it was unusable.

If my previous Patrol was fairly colorful, like some rally car from Dakar, I would like this time to be a more "civilian" look of the car, but i still couldn't get out of my skin on some things
For the inspiration of the project, I once find a picture of the Icelandic Patrol on the Internet, and since then I knew what I wanted for the end result.

Well, 44 inch tires are little too much for me, but I've set the course.
To be continued ... :wink:
