Basket and awning are on 👌 Not happy with the lack of reinforcement on the basket but that's what I had lying around. Probably gonna replace in the future but it'll do for throwing dirty shovel and maxtrax on.

Almost new roofliner and interior roof rails out of a 78 series. Got em for a carton of beer at a local pop top conversion place. Stuck 6mm insulation foam on the inside. Turned out aight. Drawers are in too! Got em second hand. Very snug fit due to my thicker trim panels. Had to pretty much...

I got some vinyl flooring from ebay to replace my cardboard mats.... aaand stepped in the same pile of s*** as jblueridge in his thread. Serves me right for not doing my research. This is the final result:

I also threw on the old spotties, an antenna for the stereo (on the bar) and one for the UHF (on the roof, existing mounting point). God, I hate crimping coax. The rusty-ass bull bar is going to go, to be replaced with a winch compatible one. So I'm just leaving it for now. The OEM steering...

Progress has been a bit slow, since it's been raining non stop and the bloody thing doesn't fit under the carport. I had to cover the leaky windows up with some tarp :banana: Thanks everyone for the warning about the foam, they have been noted! However, it was too late and I just rolled on...

Haha thanks mate. Me neither but we'll see!

So I'm thinking the next steps are: Wire up the second battery (got an isolator handy) Run a thick cable to a new fuse box in the rear Wire up anderson plugs, voltmeter, interior lighting Put the new trim boards on Fault-find the alternator and earths (all my warning lights are on) Install the...

Now for the interior. Oh boy I've been using a lot of expanda foam. The idea was to fill the wall cavities with it, cut channels for the wiring, then chuck the new trim panels on. The roof will be covered with insulation from car builders and then probably some fabric. Will have to figure that...

So I got to work ripping out old electrics and trying to find earths. Lots of random wires everywhere, ripped a whole bunch out, labelled the rest. Rippped out the immobiliser harness (there was no immobiliser anyway), it was a real shoddy job. There are some missing trim panels but that's a job...

Hi everyone! New here, after lurking for a while and getting tons of good info figured I'd make a thread. So long story short, this is my new rusty ol' bucket of bolts. A mate of mine did some extensive rust repairs and a raptor coat, and here I am. 575k km, original engine and trans...
