Dirk your progress is awesome. Well done! I'm rather jealous!

I agree with Grant, watch out for the plastics and rubber around the gearlevers. When I did my carpets and removed it I had to take quite some extra time getting everything back where it should be!

Lesson one - when having work doen on a car - NEVER think it will happen on your time schedule :naughty:

What I have done so far:
- Moved the deul battery back a bit,
- snorkel hose fitted.
- Added 12v point in the back via 16mm cable for fridge/freezer.
- added 2x 12v points in the back via 5mm cable for kids etc.
- partially fitted the washing lines.
- had an alarm system with central locking fitted.
- had all the electric window wiring sorted, fited new switches and one new window motor - for R1,850. Stealers quoted me R5k for motor only :surprised:
- had Dyna Mat fitted on floor of vehicle as well as doors for better sound and heat protection.
- all 6 door panels re-upholstered.
- Jump seats obtained.
- Electronic ignition fitted - genuine Nissan.

This week:
- Fit Brad Harrison for Deulbattery system in trailer.
- Finish "washing lines".
- fetch newly coated plastic parts

Next week: As Ben could not fit me in this week :doh:
- rock sliders to be powder coated/cleaned and painted.
- rear step to be covered with chekerred plate.
- spare wheel cover to be fitted.

As soon as Ben is done:
- New carpets and finish interior.
- Get bash plates from Peter....
