Post My two bob's

Being Ganmain's foremost authority on #12 cabs, here's my picks.
Panel work foward of the windscreen seems too 'flat', as does the back of, and position of, the bonnet (hood). The windscreen seems to be manufactured or maybe just the vertical panel immediatley below the 'screen is an addition to compensate for the flat panel work. "A" Pillars are not CMP. Doors swing the wrong way & have a 1/4 glass fitted. (I miss "quarter vents"!). The doors and indeed the entire cab seems bigger. There is extra metal work between the doors & front paneling. However there is little room between the front panel work & the bumper. Therefore no room for the chassis mounted tow hooks.
The bonnet seems to have been extended to perhaps accomodate a longer engine or engine maybe mounted in a futher foward position.? And are the chassis rails wider?
All in all I would suggest it is Australia's best looking Land Cruiser.
How'd I go?
