The next steps
Day 5:

What i have done is i am going to strip all the interior rubbish out apart from the stuff from the front door upwards, and i will be fitting a roll cage inside ill be painting it yellow and the car exterior will be black.


1 side of the interior not painted (i have used hammerite "hammered black" which is actually a very nice colour shines quite well)




the side i have hammerited im really pleased with it, u can see a hole there i am welding the plate on there tmrw then will be hammerited over to match up with the rest





couple little cheeky pics of my second battery i have whipped in, i have wired it off my altenator and not linked in paralell to my other battery so it is now a seperate unit, i will be running all my spotlights and my winch of this one so when or if the battery goes dead ill still be able to start the wagon. ive also wired an extra cable into the cab so i can have an inverter






i have also removed the rear wheel carrier and was a bit rusty underneath so i grinded out the rust and hammerited it, ill wash it and take some better pictures




the finished product updated this afternoon
