Well my girlfriend has just had to get the wet and dry vac out as I've been drooling over your 130's. They are all so well build and modded.

Been very busy at work so not had chance to work on Longshanks, however yesterday I managed to move the 2nd row seats back by 130mm giving a fair bit more leg room. (pics to follow) although you can see the reduced seat box in the second pic.
I also started on the body to tub mating plate. This in an 8mm thick hi grade ally plate that will be cut into a big U shape, here you can see it in place waiting to be marked up prior to being cut into shape. ![]() Click image to enlarge ![]() Click image to enlarge |

Looking good Andrew, I can't wait for the next installment!
Is this how you did the conversion on J-Lo, or are there improvements based on what you learned last time? |

![]() ![]() Must say that it would be quicker and easier if I had bought a rolling chassis and the body in kit form. |

Here is a pic showing the 'leg room' that is now available in the second row floor area.
To give a comparison the mat in the foot well is from a 110 ![]() Click image to enlarge |

Starting to get annoying now, not only is the vehicle not square nor is the AFN top
![]() The amount of times I have lifted the new roof on and off is unbelievable, hopefully by the end of the day I will have made the roof to roof adapter plate and the side to side ones. Its booked into the spray shop for next Thursday so I have to get this sorted today ![]() ![]() Click image to enlarge |
