 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 ...

 Re: The Dirty 'D'
 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.....

 Re: The Dirty 'D'
 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....

 Re: The Dirty 'D'
 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....
