Every single nut bolt and bracket has been stripped and chemically yellowed ...

So once the parts had returned from the powder coaters it was time to start bolting things back up...

Box in place...


Drop brackets for the channeled body ...


The cans got painted along with the rack...

It feels great to be bolting it all back together instead of taking it apart....

Time for some paint.... first off the underbody had a coating of truck bed liner tinted to the factory colour...
Gives a stone chip finish, but far stronger ...

plonked on, stand back and take a photo.... very happy with the results...

Time to start bolting down with the new seal fitted....


The inside been treated to the same bed liner up to the rear seat panel..... that and the boot floor have been left smooth like the factory did.....

The modded seat base side panels have turned out nice....



Some of the none standard parts going in..... the rear shock frame, air tank, battery and compressor...


All tucked neatly behind the back seat....

The rear boot rack frame i made was left to rust and age just enough and taken over to the powder coaters who looked at me very strangely when i said just clear coat it as it is.... high level brake light fitted... this is going to be needed....

Wiring time... all very easy thanks to the factory colour coding....



Detailing parts and fitting up.... great fun...
