love it!
I'd like to do the same seats, did they bolt in flat to the floor or did you have to build brackets or something?
Wish I had the time, patience and money to do a complete strip and repaint.

That looks great. I wish I had a great looking pig. How difficult was the headliner install? I have been trying to have someone do the install, but it has been months and no one really wants to mess with it. As strange as it sounds, I think that the West Coast especially CA has it much easier when it comes to building vehicles. Keep posting photos, your pig is an inspiration.

Thanks!!!!
I just finished putting the window regulators back in. I have some rubber coming that will be my attempt at creating new seals for the wing vents and fixed windows in the rear doors.

It is not a complete strip and paint...............the firewall was not done, yet. I just did not have time to pull the motor and get it ready. There will be a few detail things left to do as time and money permits.
The seats more or less bolted in. I made spacers to level them ouot and it was good to go. Just watch the structural crossmembers under the floorboards. I got mine a little closer than I had intended.

The headliner seemed to go good............the guy arrived, I ran out for a bit to take care of errands and when I got back, it was mostly done. Seemed like the most time was spent putting up insulation. I helped set the last hoop by the windshield and it went smooth after that.

Some electrical additions
I mounted the headlight relays and also a fuse block that is controlled by a 75 amp relay.
I wanted an easy way to hook in the new electronics:
stereo
CB
2 auxilary ports
rechargeable flashlight
AC system

Thanks PV Cruisers!!!
The cargo glass rubber is awesome and so is the upper tailgate window felt. I still have to glue it in, but it looks great.
