    I think my painting skills have improved a little,but it's still a view from at least 109" inches away paint job compared to a real spraypainter

    Probably means it is a good match for the original factory job. These were built as a workhorse, not a show pony.

    Why did you need to reverse the tub front wall?

    Maybe you have covered this before?

    the reason I reversed the tub front wall is so I can get the capping to run all the way around the tub......in essence I will put a rear corner capping on the front corner and infill between across front of tub with capping where usually is the tailgate gap

    Ive got plenty of capping because a mate gave me a beat up tub to use as a downer.

    i’ll post some photos when I get to that bit

    Cheers Paul

    Trial fit of capping I will probably fill rectangular holes on front wall capping

    IMG_0093.jpg

    New front mounting brackets and tub capping

    IMG_0090.jpg IMG_0091.jpg

    Now I've got to get everything fair ready for etch primer...... pulled the pin a tad hot working in the sun lubricant time

    The tub is 1600mm overall in length if anyone is interested

    Cheers Paul
