That is a amazing transformation. Which town in coorg area is this garage situated? Is this suntikoppa?

PS - The seats need to be swapped. 1 person on the left side, the 2 seater on the other... Or is there a problem in doing it?

Kurumbaiah, you said your Jeep was a 4WD. I cant see the four wheel drive gear levers.

Whats up, you got it this way or have disconnected the 4WD? I can see the front differential present, so whats the hiccup here?

KUrumbaiah,
You have got an amazing 3b. Nice restoration! Looks great. Can we have pics of it on day light?

@Jaggu- Those are jeep rims only. Later model Majors, commanders and MM540's all came with holes on rim. Swifts rim is 14 inch, not 16.

@Karumbaiah is there anything wrong with the front cross member? It doesn't look straight, also the angle made by the shock absorber looks different. What are those 4 bolts seen on the floor panel?
