The colour is awesome!! Looking forward to seeing this progress!

Thanks, We have a respray coming up too in a candy green.

We have a load of new panels (doors etc) to fit and we can't match the current green.

Looks like the tin worm has been working around where the wiper cover was. How is the rest of your lower dash ?

This is a rust patch caused by a leaky heater matrix. Its due to be cut out and repaired next time I am working on the truck. Passenger footwell, and somewhere around the drivers side (looks like the windscreen rubber) is also dripping. I have the parts, just need the time now!

Derrick at LRS helped me out with a choice of Old Man Emu dampers, they are all specific to what you want to do, though we all have our own reasons for choosing our kit and I don't want to be negative. At all.
Will you be going to the Donnington show?
I'll be following this thread with interest. Gotta love the drainpipe showers!

the drain pipe showers worked a treat! IF we weren't upgrading to a diesel heater I would of kept these.
