Just finished making the cargo floor today and thought I'd post some pcitures. By the way Warb I'll be sure to let you know if we're ditching the gauge holder.

I'll let you know how well it fits, and then we'll see if it's worth making some more. No one would do it for us so we had to use an old plumbers sheet metal folder, did a surprisingly good job.

Some more pictures of the body work, so far we've used 3 1200 by 2400 sheets of body metal, but finally getting there. Unfortunately progress has been halted because we're waiting on rear jack points.

He's not Boris anymore....he's JUICE!! Have you or friend got any pictures of him before, would love to know as much history as we can.

The porsche alloys explains the flared mudguards, happen to
know his exact model, the guys we brought it off weren't sure. Cheers.

He said he does'nt have any photos, he bought it of a mate who was gonna restore it but did'nt, he got it on the road used to run a 40hp motor with reduction boxes and said it used to draw a lot of attention and it was hard to steer with the fat wheels on the front, apparently they were 928 polished alloys, apparently he spent way more on it than what he got back for it!, sold it to some young guy in sydney that's all!,

Look forward to seeing it at a DSK meet, your doing a good job.

Here are some more pics of progress, would appreciate any help in choosing a colour scheme(never thought it would be so hard).

awsome work, who needs ill fitting import panels, great job

as for a colour id be tempted to go a one colour scheme like all chestnut brown then sign written to show its history with all the fruit etc just with alittle more of your own style but thats just me, oh id also add a 4 inch narrowed beam a set of kombi rescue dropped king and link pin spindles to add to the flavour , but again thats just me

what ever you do it will be sweet i am sure
