Been very busy since MOT, but got insurance and been whizzing
(slowly) around all over the place, and making modifuckations
too :D
First on the list was to clean the cappings back to shiny
HTML http://i802.photobucket.com/albums/yy307/Meland4/Yikes/IMAG0248.jpg
And then to remove the truckcab as a rumour of a full hard top
via Nat of this parish, from sodbury came through the ollr vine
HTML http://i802.photobucket.com/albums/yy307/Meland4/Yikes/IMAG0245.jpg
Much fun was had in the sunshine, with all of us (me, mrs, and 4
mini rangers) frolicking in the spring warmth, with gratuitous
topless action :lol:
Then for that hard top...
HTML http://i802.photobucket.com/albums/yy307/Meland4/Yikes/IMAG0266.jpg
After much manly noises, and general heavy lifting, said hard
top fitted brilliantly
HTML http://i802.photobucket.com/albums/yy307/Meland4/Yikes/IMAG0263.jpg
Next on the to do list was to make up the frames for the seats
in the back. I (my mrs :oops: ) had managed to aquire some LDV
mini bus seats with built in inertia reels which have turned out
to be just the job for small people.
seat frame...
some nice, shiny new metal
HTML http://i802.photobucket.com/albums/yy307/Meland4/Yikes/IMAG0257.jpg
made into a frame
HTML http://i802.photobucket.com/albums/yy307/Meland4/Yikes/IMAG0261.jpg
threaded holes for ease of seat removal
HTML http://i802.photobucket.com/albums/yy307/Meland4/Yikes/IMAG0260.jpg
HTML http://i802.photobucket.com/albums/yy307/Meland4/Yikes/IMAG0256.jpg
very shiny stainless bits for attachment to rear tub
And (after much buggering about) seats in
HTML http://i802.photobucket.com/albums/yy307/Meland4/Yikes/IMAG0270.jpg
Oh and a very very nice headlining that came with the hardtop
:lol:
HTML http://i802.photobucket.com/albums/yy307/Meland4/Yikes/IMAG0273.jpg
After all of this messing about, we all wanted to go somewhere,
but needed to get some engine oil and a few more self tappers so
the obligatory family trip to Halfords ensued (it was a sunday
so any of the good, indie shops were shut unfortunately)
HTML http://i802.photobucket.com/albums/yy307/Meland4/Yikes/IMAG0269.jpg
And i may have accidentally taken it to work as well

Bit of a catch up due
Needed to get rid of the "burgundy", so with my lovely workshop,
