    And the cab floor, can't believe how perfect a match Hammerite blue is for the original colour!

  10. Great work, what you going to pickup in your pickup?
    Lucky on the paint, also rustoleum safety yellow is a great match for Marino yellow!

    It's going to be mainly used for carrying mountainbikes around, I've got an idea to adapt a trailer tent to be like a demountable as well

  13. Great thread ! Really interesting to see all your hard work - looking forward to seeing it on the road. Great choice of tyres too - I've got mud tyres on my crew cab - love the look but really noisey!

    EBay , motorcycle lift, quite a few people use them, much steadier than a trolley jack, £61 :thumbsup:

  19. I got mine from a bloke around the corner for £20 on ebay. He'd paid £180 for it 3 months before but had his bike nicked... felt a bit guilty for winning to be fair :oops:
