Refitting my #1 Troopy, Imara

[Troopy in TZ]

I'm starting to refit my #1 Troopy, named Imara, starting with some body work to weld cracks, derust, add sound deadening, and repaint. Also thinking I'll replace the very scratched windup windows, add some window tint, and replace the door rubbers.

I love the extra door on the left side of the truck.
The entry from the rear only always bothered me with my 75

It's great, especially with rear forward-facing seats in. I wonder whether it weakens the body, but it is so chopped up for safari and it seems ok.

Here she is finished, and then completely buried in the mud on her shakedown trip.

Love the 70s shame they aren't available in the UK.

Is importing an option?

With the pound being very week and the vat plus shipping it makes it super expensive. Your paying about the same for old 70 as your paying for a 3 year old 200.
