Yep real Marine carpet, took a few hours to get it cut right and heated in the right spots and just kwik gripped in down.

Day 16

I spent half a day doing some nice easy wiring so now the drivers side tail lights and amp wiring have been split tubed.

The after a quick call the the engineer to find out if i could move the fuel filler i started this -

I had to shorten the end of the filler as the fall would have been next to zero.... i have gained about 100mm so that should do it! Just need to work out how to get the lid to open electronically and it's back to factory.

Mick

Apart from a little more wiring i pretty much run out of things to do on the cab and money :( But i did manage today to get the automatic fuel lid opener to work buy putting a little turn table in and welding it 90 deg to the back of the lid so it all fits nice and neat behind the small rear panel....

Mick

looks great Mick, I want a dual cab on a 130 chassis.

But at the moment I dont have the money the shed the time or the will to do it so I will keep it in the pipe dream department.

Ive got to give it to you blokes, I can build anything I put my mind to but then blokes like you take it up a knotch.

Well done.
