"I changed parts around to as you can see where my 90 is on the trailer it still had the 1984 roof. Later I put on the Dutch tax roof."

Roel,
What is a Dutch tax roof?

If you have a company and your car qualifies as a commercial you pay alot less road tax. You know what you pay for the 110 and that is a lot. I pay 392 euro a year now but as a pesonal car it would be 1798 euro a year. Small difference enough to start a company for. Twisted Evil Roel

Well I've been busy over the last few days.
I want to do the following.

Rust proof the chassis
Fit the roll cage.
Convert it from a Pickup to a van.

I started looking at the roll cage brackets that need to be attached to chassis and quickly realised that the rear brackets will not fit without removing the rear tub Big Cry But on reflection it will make it easier to rust proof most of the chassis and change the pivot ball joint.

I have ordered the Dinitrol and will follow the excellent guide on this site Thumbs Up

Tomorrow is a cleaning day and preparing for the application of the Dinitrol and replacing the a frame ball joint. I will get a quote for painting the roof and side panels.

I'm still working on the cleaning of the chassis. Dinitrol arrives tomorrow. The amount of mud and soil would have been hard to find with the rear tub on.
