Sooo not much has really changed visually, me and scott got the engine going, in between rum drinking...

managed to score some audi a4 seats for it. just mocked up at the minute, but should be a good fit and very comfy!

picking up some carpet tomorrow so going to fit that with insulation underneath

Haha yes usually I would agree with you, but I'm on rocks now not mud so I can have a nice comfortable interior and not worry so much about making it dirty ;)

Yeah but you cant beat the off roading where the stinking big water rushes in through the drain holes in the floor.

Valley road does flood yes, but not for at least 6 months ... and it usually only just reaches the bottom of the doors
And I'm looking toward the future, protect my back before its screwed up haha
