Removed the 60% backseat, and turned it into storage for my up and coming trips to Tassie and Fraser. I can also fit a full size sleeping pad.

A few blokes pm’d about removing the back seat. You will need a bracket from “goose gear” (only place I could find one) about $100. Apart from that, pretty easy.

Woke up to this the morning I was supposed to head out camping.

Had a spare so swapped it over and on the road within an hour. Funnily the passenger couldn’t get their head around the fact I had a spare and still left for our trip.

new one without a hole in it. [emoji16]

Got my PS hood louvers from SBR yesterday. Now to take some time & get it installed for summer.

Hmmm, that won't happen, only 2 days to go!

Pics to come.
As it gets done.

So, this morning I cleaned off the crap from the rain, lined up the template & centre punched the holes for the cutouts. Then drilled pilot holes for them all.

Then this afternoon, I put a block of wood under the bonnet & a big sheet of cardboard to keep crap out of the engine. Then I drilled the holes with the battery drill & smallest holesaw. Well 7 of them, then the battery ran out, so I got out the old Sher power drill & did the rest. This thing is older than I am, (it was my father's), & the only replacement it has had is the lead, because the rubber insulation perished! I remembered from installing the AEV snorkel that letting the hole saw get too hot killed it, so I used a little water to keep it cool as I went. It also stopped the filings going everywhere as easily.

So tomorrow, I'll cut the rest out with the angle grinder & start fitting the louver. I also did it with a coat of Dupli-Color Bed Liner, for a matt black textured finish, & did the door hinges at the same time. I puled them all off the doors as they were suffering from electrolytic corrosion & the paint was blistering. Sanded them all right back to bare alloy, then primed them a week or so ago, then did both sides with Bed Liner today. That should sufficiently insulate them & prevent it from reoccurring.
