+rep for this, looks good :)
Depends on what you plan on hauling with it. if its never going to take much weight, i dont see why grinding off the odd coil would hurt, the same rules dont apply to trailers as they do cars lolQuote:

It can stay for now anyway.

Re installed the bbq to see how it all looked painted up. Quality is the answer :) Just got to clean up the grates now.

Added last years billing badge which i had kept all this time especially for the loonaque. Hopefully plenty more of those to be added in the coming years

Then I turned my attention to the interior. Had a load of carpet which i kept from the loon when we stripped it, so cut a load of bits up and made a reasonable job of the front part (as I said before, this was never intended to win any prizes, its function over form all the way)
And you may be wondering why we left the seat runners in? They will be perfect as tie down points for all the club gubbins!

Cut up the old boot floor carpet to fit on the back half

Then just had to add the cusions again lol. Sat in it for a while and pondered about life. I think they can stay for now despite being garish and not matching the colour scheme at all lol

All that left is to sort the roof lining, and then some proper fun making some condiment attachments for the back end for ketchup etc.. (Hopefully Mike will be back for that) Also got to add a fire extinguisher, and I think we'll be there for now!
Only issue I have is a problem Ive created with the back end with the fold down rear panel. The water that runs into the gulleys either side of the bootlid will now run straight into the boot lol. I have a few ideas for a solution, the most likely will probably be to block up the gulley as far back as I can, and drill a drain hole each side connected to some rubber pipe running down and out of the rear quarters behind the bumper.
Now i'm confused, theres seat runners in the boot! erm, one of the boots... lol
what a random project this is, good work though :)
yea it is quite random looks mad though lol
Looks ace with the BBQ all painted up now!! Liking the white vynal continuation aswell actually, could make it into a nifty Opel Blitz logo ;)
All being well, next weekend i shall be returning :thumb:
looking good lee
Looks bloody awsome Lee! :thumb: well done!
Is it having an exhaust? Mabey but a bolt-on tip from Halfords and weld it onto the chassis?
Cant wait to see this in person, bet it gets a photo in TV for the PVS review :p
Cheers Dave :)Quote:

The only reason i would have kept the zorst was if it was functional bolted up to a generator, but even then it would just have fumed out whoever was cooking, and Ive dumped the genny idea for a 12v system instead, so NO was my resounding decision :thumb:
