Cheers Chewie.

Trip to the blasters found a lot more holes that we were expecting .... so looks like full new floors in the back now and the tubs are shot

On a positive note, nice to see some of that original paint starting to come through

New cargo door arrived, so that got fixed up and fitted, which meant the B post repair could finally get done properly.

I managed to find a cargo door on ebay that looked pretty good, just needed a fix at the bottom:

And then the big job ... B post was knackered ...

Loads more pics at https://www.flickr.com/photos/coultas/s ... 2199473512 , but you get the idea ... amazing work as usual by Dave H and Matt.

Long time no update ...

Majority of the big jobs that needed doing on the floors etc are now done, so Dave has started looking at the tubs he needs to make to cope with the new ride height, so the CE weedeater has been fitted and some wheel stuck on so we can figure out the measurements for the tubs.

Nice to finally see some wheels back "on" it ... might have to get some like these, I like the bling !

Meanwhile back in Austria .... I broke my Eriba Puch
