Fitted the Armax cap and new mirrors

As part of the restoration I am tapping every bolt since the new pain is covering the holes

Before installing the Hercules we did install the new black trim overall i really like the looks better

Looking great! Are these the new gen 70 series mirrors? I was under the impression that the new ones fit the older models.

IMRON is a industrial paint use for mostly equipment coatings, bridges, etc it’s super resistant and when you applied clear coats it’s very hard to scratch this is the paint used for my Troopy

I did a 1964 Nissan Patrol chassis with Imron once. Had good results.


Cheers

My concern did it last longer ?

Can’t say, Patrol went home to the owner. Went down nice though and seemed scratch and chip resistant to me. This was a chassis black.

Who did you order carpet from? I've thought about going to carpet as well. Also thought about using door cards from a 77 with power windows and mirror retrofits. Would be cool.

I ordered marine grade covering for the sprinter van and have left over for the troopy. It's similar form as the Malec. Very durable and easy to clean. Salt and UV protected.
