Blimey!
Looks like the steering wheel is on the wrong side! :evil:

Great job on the patchwork repairs though [Thumbs-up smiley needed here]

it is indeed:laugh:
Thanks for the thumbs up Max.
The rust repairs where a gaint pain in the behind.
I am happy that the rear is rust free though.
And while the interior was out it was the perfect time to add led interior light and add gaint speakers (12cm:P )

Ahaaa - I was wondering what that 'box' was all about! - I thought you'd just made some kind of boxed-in area like a load-liner to match the seat height when they're folded.

Excellent

last Saturday i went to a pay and play event with a few mates and had a blast.
of course i got stuck and while recovering the vehicle we completely mangled right rear tow point.
I did use a strap across the 2 tow points and a kinetic rope but the the gentleman who pulled me loose was a bit enthusiastic/ on an angle......



bashed it back in to place and ordered a tow bar, i am going to remove and remake the stock brackets on the chassis.
