Although there’s still more to do on the car, I had a little play with a before and after montage.

Thank you. If yours is a 2003 you might have no probs w yours then.
Also my 1998 has a shielder chassis, not sure whether it makes it even more complicated :/ |

Hello,

Thanks for the bolt tip Anorak.
Re flooring - do you have any recommendations? I ordered some hardura (PVC coated jute) to try. Do you have any thoughts on that or something else? Thanks |
