Big Dav,it took 5,000,000 tubs of T1PPX to paint the door. :lol: :lol: :lol:

It was about time I got the door painted,its only taken about 2 or 3 years to paint the door. :lol: :lol: :lol:

When it gets re-sprayed,it will be getting done inside an old caravan awning.

I fitted a nice 30 amp push button to finish my ignition bypass. If you dont know where it is you cant start the truck so a little bit more secure as well :D

finally got the rear brake pipes fitted and the whole system bled trough..took slightly longer than expected due to both front bleed nips being siezed and then blocked, luck would have it that I had a couple of spares (somehow these appeared to have fallen off and landed into my toolbox from my last scrappy trip)
The greatest lesson in life is to know that even us idiots are right sometimes
