i got a bit done today
i put a new interior light in which im over the moon with, i got it off ebay its led and cost $25 http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/2650/65140731.th.jpg

i have wired it into the factory light so that it works with my doors and i can turn it off without adding switches

to get it to work i soldered some wires onto the back of the original light

i got that one on ebay there are heaps of different sorts, i also have a 12v fluro to go in the boot, if you get on ebay and type in 12v led there are a fair few pretty cheap, more pics tonight

got the roof racks on, i bought them off ebay got 3 brand new for $95 and i must say im pretty happy with them, only trouble the ones i bought allow for 250mm clearance and the bars were just touching on the centre of the roof, i overcome this easily because on the legs the bars slide into provision for them instead i bolted the bars on top of this section(there only there till i make a basket which will bolt up to the legs i only bought them for the legs as i wanted proper looking legs not homemade looking ones)

been starting on the roof lights, i wanted them to be as close to the roof as they could so when i put the basket on if something hangs out the front it can go above the lights, i made the light bar out of some 30mm rhs

Looks good, but are you going to move them forward? they look too far back.

Nice!!
They look tops!!!
I also plan on building a light bar and adding some roof lights in the future;)
Thanks for the pics:)
