Advice to anyone is to get the spots resprayed if you are deflaring.
 
The floor is so clean!!


I should have taken a before.... there was possibly half a bag of funions, a half dozen melted hard candy, 2.50 in AUS coins, a few almonds and dead bug carcasses by the bucket load. Oh and half of the biggest licorice stick ive ever seen...
 
Please tell me you didn't throw the funions away?

Sadly, they were sans packaging, but most likely not past their expiration date :-D They were unable to saved.

On the tech side of the house, ive decided to go rivnut instead of the flimsy push plastic jobbies that shatter when you pull them out. Once i get the sizing right... will be ordering this dude


 
You are planning RivNuts for the interior panels I am assuming. Are you going to try and use the holes the plastic clips are used for? I really want to make some thick aluminum ones for my truck and incorporate some storage.

yes, I have some wood templates roughly mocked up that will serve as the different versioning as i see what works and what doesnt. The final product will be either steel or HDPE. I just dont know how everything will fit together yet. I have some drawers that i got for CHEAP that i need to pick up this weekend. They are not as full length as i want them to be, but will work for now. Once those are in, ill be able to figure out where I want the cubby openings.

Ill have to pick a side for the amp and inverter to take a section or two.

That looks awesome, but $176 worth of awesome? (I assume it's AUD, not USD, but still)
 
Updates this weekend. One big hornets nest was dealing with the electicals under the bonnet. I pulled out a ton of wires that went nowhere, and pulled out the boat dual battery manager.

Going to be pulling the battery box and wire wheeling with a repaint to get some extra time out of it.

Here is the boat dual battery manger.
