84 superoo, got it rego'd yet?

I'll keep an eye out for you when I'm in benders next ;)

Awesome looking MY! I hope you're going to upgrade the donk to turn that huge rubber you're planning on putting on! Thought about going with the US setup of a divorced transfer case with the 6 inch lift? That'd give you a decent low range even with those large tyres.

Cheers

Sweet, someone's been stalking me! Not hard to do once you know my subi!

How long ago was this as I've now moved to Shepp :(

Best of luck with the rego, I'll keep an eye out for your little beast next time I'm in town.

The Bendigo swappy was great I go every year, you should try to get there next year you will always find something you want. And Inglewood is having a town garage sale on the 1st of December they usually have good stuff at this event.

Looking good Kevin.

Did you remove the glass when you did the repairs on the front and rear screens?

I'm only asking as those areas are most prone to rusting through, then creating rust in other obscure places - such as the hinge areas on the front doors. If you fix the rust in the windscreen early enough you don't have to deal with the rest later.

Also replace the windscreen rubber if you can afford it. I got mine on ebay and after learning on here how to do the install I did the rest myself. Worth the effort!

Also, if you want to display your images you can right click (or control click for mac users), copy the link in to the text where you want it and add [img] at the start and [*/img] at the end without the * ;)

Cheers

I didn't remove the windscreen because I've just done a bodge job on the rust just to get me through roadworthy. Replacing the rubber is high on my list of things to do as it leaks and I was planning on buying the eBay one and doing it myself as I've got quotes from window places and it's a lot!

Very neat job with ya interior mate, like the discreet speaker install. I hate cutting up door trims if it can be avoided.
