The intake rubber was over stretched with the engine swap so we made a few cuts on the stock intake to change the angle.
I'm hopping this will keep the boot in fair condition for another 31 years.

So clean and organised, did you end up coating any of the polished alloy?

I painted the intake, rocker box, thermostat housing and the turbo intakes with VHT high temp engine enamel and then baked in my 6 burner outside rotisserie. I left the timing cases after scrubbing for days I should have taken a bit more time and painted them but there not seen unless under the truck.

I spent 2 days installing sound deadener foil and the 12 mm thick heat and acoustic liner with my new trufit carpet on top. I done the whole truck with the foil except the floor pans as I want to be able keep a eye on them after heavy rain creek crossing etc. The underlay was one piece in the back but decided to cut the front in three sections so I can pull each floor with out having to strip the seats I just need to pull the kick trims pull carpet back and remove to dry.

Thanks mate it's been a long haul getting my old girl on the road in man hours alone not to mention dollars but it's all worth it. 
I unbolted these overides this morning as the truck was skipping over the pot holes causing some server jarring after sitting for years with the springs rusting together . I took her for a drive and had spring movement so back home on jacks with screwdrivers and cold chisels spraying between springs with silicon to help get the parts moving. I then took her on a rough climb through the local rain forests. Oh what a feeling on the way home no more jarring but quite pleasant with full spring movement.

Bloody cane toads it's about ....... time for the cock roaches to win. 
Yeh mate there off the 60 series but I have 4 sets off rims with new tyres so I swap them around as pleased but to be honest these are the best on the road to date but there only 2 ply walls so I'm expecting to hole the side walls around my neck off woods.
When you get your truck on the road you and chappo should cruise to coffs so I can show you guys around the local rain forests and beaches for fishing and sight seeing.

I will take you up on that mate. I've been wanting to go to Coffs for a while.
