Project Ghettofab Poor mans tailgate

[enonz98lr]

like the title says im too poor to buy a new Proline tailgate and i missed those defender take-offs RN had.

i have more time than money, so i will attempt to fabracate an origional looking tailgate. i do not have one to go by for exact measurements or the proper materials, so right now im just going to go for the "look" but it will be more HD than original
