The hoops and windshield are back from paint and installed. Seat belts installed. Doors, fenders, bib and hood are mounted. New stainless hinges and new mirror arms installed. New rear bumper, tire carrier and basket are installed. You will notice that we installed rear marker lights. These were not OEM to this model.

The cage fits nicely inside the soft top hoops. I opted for shorty doors on the back as this will allow the soft top to be fully removed for island driving.

Today bikini top was completed and installed for fitment only. It will be removed and stored in a compartment under one of the seats. Leather swatch of colors for seat upholstery. That brings the build up to date. More photos to come as progress continues.
that black leather will be crazy hot on HHI.

Thought of that too. I am having tan canvas with dark brown piping seat covers made for summer. Same as the ones we use in our expedition Land Rovers.

Canvas is perfect for the hot humidity around here.

Seriously, though - awesome. Awesome.
