You are kidding? I have two daughters with trucks! it'll be a while before I can afford to start my own, but what you're doing is pretty much exactly what I have always planned on the lotto list.

Mine's the 5Dr, though.

Went to Mr O's tonight to get some photo's of his truck build, it is looking very good so far and will be a mean truck once it is finished, and for those of you thinking of telling him to hurry up and finish it, remember that a good truck build up takes time....

Rest of the photo's are here...

Bit of an update, sorted out some more wiring. All the esentials to run and drive there forever now in the way of wiring....just need to wire up things like lights, windows, radios etc. Drivers seat mounted and harness fitted (ran out of steel to do the passengers :roll: ) even bolted the drivers door back on....mite feel a bit safer on the next drive down the street :lol: plumbed up trans cooler and bought and wired up 14" electric fan ($$$$ :oops: $$$$)

So yup progress....slow....but progress :D

probably almost time for suzuki1k to come round and take some more photos of the peice of sh*t :!: :lol:
