looking good! love the seats.

does your 40 already have aircon and just needs to be fixed or are you modding it to put aircon in? if the latter, takes lots of pics and document it, im gonna be doing an aircon mod into my 45 later on in the year

PO had taken it out for some weird reason, it's all original & stock so just re installing. New pipes, re-gas, flush etc. then fit.
Well that's that plan see what happens with the reconditioning process

Top looking rig mate!! Looks right at home out there in the hills!

 

[Strategic1]

Cheers Pommy, have finished roll cage & was given some free Marine Carpet & timber so spent a lil time making a box section that I will put some metal draws in with sectioned areas for stuff (Crap) to minimise movement of stuff & still leave room for pack & camping gear on top. How's your rig going, Happy with progress??

 

[Yamabalu]

Not too much progress due to moving house mate, hoping to smash out a few things this weekend if I get the chance...
Loving the marine carpet over the drawers look, gives me a plan for what to do with my ugly box left in by the previous owner
