@Sumesh, looks like it is going to be an intresting project.

But suggest you post sufficient material in each post, instead of a single image and not much related description. It will give us all some material to read and discuss. thanks ..

Seems like a very interesting project is coming up. I always liked the front part of the armada grand, looks very masculine. With a shortened chassis is will look great.

With a specialist mechanic all your requirements can be met. Best of luck for your project Do keep posting the updates.

A photoshope design of the shortend armadagrand.

Sumeshm,
I presume you would be shortening the chassis by cutting it across the middle and re-engineering a lot other stuff. Do post the details. This is going to be an interesting thread.

Im posting the photos of the reduced wheel base of armadagrand to cj-7.

[sumeshm]

More snaps of the chassis & the rear tub. Closely watch, the rear tub is pushed forward to minimize the overhang of the grand.

[sumeshm]

Fitting the tub, the bolero bushes r used for mounting.

Cant wait to see the end product ,all the best.

It would be great if you could post slightly bigger pictures , so that the details can be seen.
