    What a great thread, I spent a lot of time yesterday reading it instead of working, (of course I kept my work open in the background so I could flick back quickly should someone come in...).

    Brilliant watching it all come together bit by bit, and over a time frame which is probably similar to what I am facing once I actually get started.

    That list is a bit daunting when you put it all together in one place, especially when you consider it started out as a "quick spruce up" sort of project.
    Totally in sync with storing bits and peices around the house, but as others have said, it would definitely require a divorce to acheive that.

    Bloody well done, it's a credit to you.

    Pete.

    Thanks Pete. Well, yeah... it started out as a quiet little affair just tidying the old girl up a bit, then it got out of hand. The finish is far from perfect, but she's very serviceable now, which is really all I want.

    I'm glad that you have enjoyed reading the thread. It's been going a while. Just the other day, I went back and read what I said in the first few posts and said "Ha!!! Idiot!!"

    John

    It's been a month. Did you finish the false floor?

    Good question. The answer is yes... and no....

    As in "Yes, I did", but also, equally, "No, I didn't".

    I am yet to get to Clarke Rubber (about 200km away) to pick up some of the matting I want to use to finish the false floor, so I have been kind of waiting until I have something new to photograph before adding to this thread.

    I might try to get myself into gear soon and get it done. Thanks for the nudge.

    Mind you, I have just begun a large-scale restoration on what appears to be a very rare Series II, so I may be preoccupied with that particular job this weekend...

    Hey does anybody know where to find the original top tailgate prop rods? I think the part number is RNB 810.

    John

    P.S. Yes.... back into it.

    Got back to working on the false floor jobbie for stowing the recovery gear.

    First up, I threw on a coat of Penetrol.

    Could that be a bit of Deep Bronze Green sneaking in...?

    Starting to come together. A nice quick job.... it's only taken about six months.

    Looking good Johnno, you can't rush these things you know...
