Hi all and thanks for the commets,

The sun visor I still have, not quite sure if I will put it back on.

It also had a tonnau cover but have not decided if I want to drill holes in the body to refit it.

The timber in the tray is normal everyday $25 a sheet plywood primed and painted.
I don't know how long it will last it has been in there for 3 years now with no problems, The plywood that came out originally had seen it's day but the quality of it doesn't seem to compare to what you get today!
(goes back to the old saying "don't make it like they use to")

PS.... You may have picked up a name of "Jamie" on the email address, That is my lovely girlfriend's name, My name is Aaron.

                                 

This one is hot off the camera today.

I won't go into much detail of the rebuild as I am assuming as a new member there may be a write up in the "sideplate" issue? if not I will give you Guys & Girls more detail

This shot was taken about 16 months ago

I was handed the keys in approx 1997 at the age of 17 (It was going to be a 18th birthday present) but I,m not complaining.
It had 12 months rego and was all mine!

A picture might help!
