I bet it was fun making that first cut

Are you going to run a 4 bar or ladder bar setup, separate springs or a coilover setup?

I had thought about installing a R51 rear end in complete but obviously a lot of dollars just in parts.

Thinking some sort off 3 link patrol coils 12" shocks

Definitely easy if you can get parts from another vehicle

considering they have already completed the solid axle front end i dont imaging the coil rear will cause them any major problems, well nothing like the hurdles they jumped getting the front to work anyway.

keen to see the linkage.

Keen to see the car period. Would love to have a first hand look if it's not too far from me.....any idea where it is located?

So when you did the front conversion you kept the rear leaf? and now your changing the rear to coil? Is it going to be the same banjo housing?

This is going to be epic shot first to buy once he's done with the car!

 

[nathand22]

the rear diff is also out of patrol and was done along with the original solid axle conversion.

 

[gunning1987]

so after the original conversion it was still leaf sprung, now he's converting to coil rear via changing to a coil base/top hat or coil over and a 3-5 links (depending on what he chooses)?

After doing the front the rear should be easy we have a rough idea just not 100% on which way we will go it all had to come out to be braced anyhow

Thanks that's only a couple of hours drive for me so I might give them a call and see if it is OK to come up for a look.

What was the damage to the wallet for the front and back(if you don't mind me asking)

Fair way down the track I'd like to do something like that. (I can dream)

hard to say mate all depending on how far you go, the boys said they could do a basic set up patrol diffs leaf spring rear for about $16 000 > $18 000 but you would have to talk to Kari or James at Seldom Seen
