Oops, I swear I clicked "quote" but deleted my comment by mistake!

Suffice to say my morning off didn't happen... Bah! Sunday it is then...

Rather than waste the whole morning...

I dug the seats out of storage...



BIG comfy seats :lol:



I forgot how big they are!



That Hi-Lift Jack JUST fits in there!



That was close! (This is with the seats right back, the way I'll need to get my legs in)





Not much room for storage here.. a tool bag, strop and rope...

I might have to make a chainsaw mount somewhere else? :ohmy:

Or behind my seat?...



Rear view is fine, over the spare and under the high level brake light...



And forward vision... I can just see the A-pillar tube...

It's coming!.........................

Whoops... sneak preview of the tree wires there too!

It's Sea King rescue helicopter winch cable (my kid brother used to be in the RAF!), nice flexible multi-strand stainless steel... these used to clip onto my old "Stealth" Vitara and have been languishing in the garage for a few years... so I thought I'd up-cycle them

Is that Windscreen cracked?

Yes, in a couple of places, and covered in iron filings from angle grinding...

... a nice new one will be fitted at the end

I decided from the offset that it would be too hard to protect it during all the work... welding, grinding, inside and out...

Great updates - very inspiring! Love this build simply because it is so unique.
