    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.

    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....

    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.
