    ok a small update..... finally got the back window in last week.. also got the parcel shelf in with speakers n wired up... lifted the rear end so its legal height for the rwc... gave the boot, roof n the drivers side a buff.. its actually white again not cream lol..

    and last night we fitted a new exhaust to it... old system was way to loud for me..

    few pics...........

    Nice man I like it....However your lucky you aint in vic. As that parcel shelf wouldn't pass a roadworthy here....Only say that as it is cut and is classed as structual...

    Good luck with it man. Coming along nicely
