amazing work mate!! you're a very talented individual!!

Dont forget the paint has no UV protection so needs to be put where the sun dont shine or over painted if its going to get sun.

yeah i spoke with the distributor, told him the intended use (very low UV exposure) and it came highly recommended and guaranteed! Thanks for reminding me though. Looks like the GTS wheels option is no more :(

[Grunt]

Started to put some more front end bits on

[Grunt]

Started to strip down the top tailgate and found the pivot points were loose so I drilled them and slug welded them. These will be ground down later

[Grunt]

Ground back and sprayed the cabin area

[Grunt]

Installed the sound deadning








The steering column ready to go back in, fully rebuilt
