it was time for my spare jb to go under the chop so i could use the rear quarter and door off her to save my good jb.

i used an arc welder to do the cutting it took about 4 hours.

Can you please take a photo of the compliance and build plates or at least give me the info off them to confirm that it was #0238? The reason I ask is that the highest I have on the Austarion registry is #0219. Yours could be the last JB made.

And nice chop job. :D

sorry guys i've made a mistake with the number, after reading nxtime's post i went out with a torch and checked, the fire wall number is FA183MFZ400238, but after a hit with sand paper the number on the strut tower is actually 00141, sorry about that, but anyway you can confirm that 141 is dead.

yeah it had an engine bay fire that burnt everything from the windscreen foward. the guy i bought it off said he was the second owner and he had it 7 weeks and did a turbo upgrade and didn't tighten the oil feed line up tight enough and this started a fire which burnt the P/ steering lines and up it went.

+ i started a good dozen or so fires in it today, had fun though.
