Pic 1: welding in rails
Pic 2 & 3: Mounted in place!
All that was left was connecting to the recently replace wiring. Added original SIIa tail lights with the addition of reversing lamps which were actually front park lamps and did this today.
All that is really left to do before rego is to close off the bulkhead area where the seat backs were (turning this into a separate storage compartment for bits), reposition the mudflaps and add flares to cover the wheels.
Re galving and spraypainting will come later.
The front LH blank panel opposite the spare wheel well will be turned into another compartment as per the two in the rear. Not sure if I will use the wheel well yet for a spare as I will need to have a new tarp made for it (current Hilux one fits perfectly!) This may also be changed to additional storage. Suspension may be lowered slightly too.
This body change has lightened it by approx 70 or so kilo's plus about 10 kg we cut from the chassis!
