China shells
As with anything made in China. It will be total Junk In my opinion. OEM parts will not fit these new shells as well as the originals. Just like the re-pop QPs and other parts.
Just watched youtube on a 1972 FJ80 Landcruiser Body that was the same as what was shown. Same company.
They ordered it to replace a rusty shell.
Total garbage. Nothing fit correctly. Parts from the old truck like regulators and window channels were all incorrect dimensions. Body would not fit the frame correctly. Dash holes were incorrect. Hours and hours of filling holes and drilling new ones. front fenders and hood were 2 inches to long. Had to chop it down to fit correctly. They said a DIYer would never be able to repair this and get it to work.
Primer over rusted panels and dented panels with bondo.
They had 6 solid weeks of 3 guys working for repairs and at the end they said they could have fixed the old body for less and it would have been better, They are still not done with repairing the body to make all the OEM part fit as they are not finished and do not know what lies ahead for fitment issues.
The other thing is the seller has ghosted them and there is no re-course for the amount of money they spent.
I would repair the original
Just my 2 cents.
