It was done at shop my boss was managing at the time. It's actually upol raptor liner and was sprayed on. The hood was supposed to be much darker, but the shop missed what I was trying to convey.

My chevy volt is white with black roof/trim/wheels. True story, the fact it looks like a storm trooper may have been a significant factor in the purchase

Speaking of bang. I followed this guy’s video for the oil pump seal replacement. The bang is around the 6:15 mark. Kudos on the slow motion.
Drinking beer and cutting wood! Cheap plywood.
Did manage to get my nephew to help!
I am going to redo these later, I just need to sort of organize the back for now. I will probably use 3/4 birch and plywood the next time. I went 43" wide between the wheel arches(43.5 to 44 might fit but looks tight), 40" long. I made the cross piece at 34 inches so that would leave me with room for the fridge to breathe, even though it it only 28 long. The other compartment is now 23 x 34 so I will either build a drawer or stick two frontrunner boxes there. We will see how I like this setup.
Also I need to get a damn table saw

In my video you can kinda see what I was using. Iron pipe fittings from Lowes. Not the perfect fit, but worked well enough to press old bushings out and new ones back in.
Just modify the press to suit your needs. Like this one we did
Leatherique applied. Washer fluid diverter/valve replaced. Now onto steam cleaning the engine bay. I got a professional steam cleaner for Christmas... and my wife thought it was for around the house.

My G55 was nicknamed Stormtrooper by my son.
And yes, I'm aware of the poser grill guard and tail light guards. And don't mention the wheels.

It was hideous...

It was actually one of my favorite vehicles. It was purely a road vehicle. Part of me wishes I still had it. That thing was the sh!t!
It was far from hideous!

It's repugnant...
No reason you shouldn’t get one.
But does it have lockers.
I think it was from Texas??..lol
All designs are subjective, right?
I like it. So does my wife.
In fact the only thing she likes about her TLC (cause I don't get to drive it) is that it's big. Other than that, nothing.

Very little back seat leg room. I'm 6'2" and no way could I sit in the back seat. Other than that, no reason not to.
I disagree. I think it is one of the best looking vehicles.
3X.
I love my 80s. Through and through. But the G wagen is as capable of a vehicle. Plus they make a diesel version that is available in the US. Fun fact: The side body molding isn't for protection from door dings. It is the water intrusion mark. The truck is water proof to that level.
I'd buy a G320 CDI tomorrow but I'd miss you guys too much.
