Decided I needed a bit more storage so made up a spice-rack for the cargo door and swapped the westy table on to the other door.

Also used some vinyl remnants and left over thin ply to tidy up the parcel shelf.

Just got to trim the seats and its pretty much done....

Cheers Guys

Not a whole lot done over the past week. The bench seat I got was all original and I could feel the springs through my bum so it was time for a refresh. I thought about keeping the old covers but as I had a new set of Matt Millers covers from the US I'd go for the full refresh so new coconut fibre seat pad and new cotton padding all round.

Much nicer to have some extra padding under your cheeks! I also installed some new seat belts with longer stalks to suit the bench seat as opposed to the buckets that used to be in there.

About time for an update, I can now walk under the splitty!

Back to stock height with RGB's geared up a bit with a 3.88 diff. Rides like a champion, and feels nice and planted which I was bit worried about.

Bilstein shocks all round which I think helps a fair bit.

Vintage Speed exhaust is on as well which sounds bloody lovely!

Hey Cam, what do youth think of the Vintage speed ? Ground clearance looks good and it sits well under the rear bumper. Any noticeable improvement? Tempted to go that wAy myself eventually.
the invisible and the non existent look very much alike!
