:lol:

So very true. As does highly polished bodywork, sparkly alloys, and a quick spray of black in the wheelarches.

Some progress pics the tub is painted up! Need to get the upper side pieces in paint still. I’ve gone with a stone guard type paint for the floor and I’m going to use some boat deck timber for the floor.

That's the second V8 I know of that will have had it's tub decked out like a sauna.

The problem I have with the dogs is they scratch the deck with their nails! I quite like the old wooden look, there’s a company I e seen in Holland that have done the back benches in wood too thought it was a nice touch.
