Good Idea. Cars looking great.
Thanks, devilrod - if she turns out half as cool as yours I'll be stoked. 8)

i havent had the heart to tell him he cant go on the new seats yet.
thinking of grabbing some rubber that i can put over the seat for him to sit on...or just buy a fb/ek ute and chuck him in the back :twisted:

haha time will tell - now just needs a nice paint job or all one colour to complement the interior!

been abit slack updating this - been having too much fun...

heres the interior - very happy how it ended up, looks like good quality work, and is WAY better to sit in!

also have some stainless scuff plates, from Sam Cupri to install :)

and then, the interior didnt tie in with anything being green, so i gave it a roof job :) so stoked with how this turned out, stole the idea, and the basic how to from devilrods thread 8) (hope you dont mind mate! :thumbsup:) i did one big panel, with a boarder around it. i didnt use candy like in the how to, i just used metallic that was custom mixed to suit the interior... all done in acrylic, cant wait to give it a sand and buff. all pics are straight off the gun.

getting closer to doing the big drive west, only 6 weeks away!!!

Bit of an update - sanded and buffed the roof, really happy with how it came out, few spots need a little more sanding but it will do until I get to Perth.

So with the roof buffed, it was time for a cruise - went down to Byron bay for the weekend, I was running pritty much the same weight I'll be carrying for the drive over, she ran like a dream and I think she will make it no worries. Date set to leave qld is 10 nov :)
