I've sprayed a shit load of Lanolin anti corrosion inside all the doors, tailgate and sills.
Rust to never return!

Looking for the next project
So as my 80 almost comes to an end. It will be time to move it on to a new home. Has been an awesome bus for the family adventures, but as only my son and I are interested and the price of these things keep going up, I cringe when I go out in it. Anyway, I am now on the lookout for my next 4x4 proje...

Re: My 80 matey restore
Had some electric issues to also resolve, so I've fixed all those and added the new gauges.
Auto Gauge from Taiwan highly recommended. Never had problems with these.
Also added separate fuse holders to run all the aux toys.

I'm wanting to redesign my sliders and have them currently running flat along the sills with 50x50 box and braced back to the chassis. Can you show me yours how yours sit near / against the sill and avoid the seam?
