I have had to print out some pictures to show some of the people at work what a trekker looks like. We don't have them down under, anyway it is looking like a real gem. This is quite a book you have written. hehehe and a great publication to boot.

I'm considering it again , making the top convertable .... although , I may never take it off ..

rear tub is bolted on with elevator bolts , and I used "sikaflex" for the water proof gasket .

Cool. If you keep it up with all the tinfoil the aliens wont be able to read your mind while you are driving. Isn't that how it works? JK. It looks awesome.

little more today .. some "finishing up" ..

got the roof done in the sound deadner ..



also , although they will not be seen or anything .. I sealed up the bare metal of the seats .. heres the backs



also .. got he dash pad back from upholstery guy ..
fits much better , and got the dash and switches and such in ..
I wish the glove box door would fit these units better .. I might just take the door off and "build it up" to get that gap better ..



Upholstery guy is comming next week to install the new carpet
so , now , tomorrow I have to lay out the wiring for the sterio , GPS and such ..

Amazing as per the usual. And next time you are working with your alien repellent be sure to grab a picture of your hat/brain protector design. Mine always end up looking like sailboats.
