    i glossed over a few things when posting stuff up on Rhubarbs resto , one of the things i was reluctant to refer to was - the absolutely mess of a cab area , the po had hand painted the dash and og 72 seats , he added a steering wheel that would be more suited to the dinky model i have in the window and slapped black bitumen like paint all around the seat tubs and floor pans - it has been a mare getting the cab area clear of all this crud and looking something like it did when it left the factory , it is nowhere near but here is the progress thus far --

    i began with a cab area that looked like this -

    Today i put in some original cab mats that Pmacs collected from dubfreeze for me and i fainally feel as if i am getting somewhere - i know there is still some to do but - slowly slowly catchy monkey -

  8. looking good poptop.

    i'd like a steering wheel cover in white or cream to stop my hands going black on the original wheel. if anyone finds one, let me know. :)
