Great stuff mate.
The diamond plate on rear door is something I need to get done since I use mine for work I keep all my tools in the back so it would help protect the door from anything that might fall against it. Lovely truck though. |

It's a " truck bed liner" spray I got in a can from halfords it's a sort of textured non slip finish. There is a closer up picture of it on page 2 where I used it for the threshold thing.

Good idea since gloss would only show up scratches anyway, definitely black over silver, silver looks a bit chincy in my opinion.

Incase any one is interested thought I would do a quick update.
Been meaning to make some side panels for ages still need to cover them with some sort of material, which is why I didn't make the joints nice. But they fit well and don't rattle Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge And went down to muddy bottom for a pay and play last Sunday great day ! Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge And this rangie got rather stuck Click image to enlarge Admin note: this post has had its images recovered from a money grabbing photo hosting site and reinstated |

Looks great, what are you planning to cover them with? Carpet? An engine to TDi for!

Great looking truck mate
I suggest moving the bonnet switch (which you may have done by now) as it's far too easy to reach the cable through the grill ..... |

Great thread Stoney.
What about this for the sides? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Black-Original-E...0598379797 I did the back of mine with this and it worked really well. Got my inspiration from RRUK'S thread. |
