Successful Bootfair today, not much, but worth getting out of bed for.
Then home and straight into the garage, pulled the truck out and started to play.
Decided the carpet and safety belts needed to come out, along with the door rubbers etc.
Carpet is discoloured but still serviceable. Easy to dye it black.
Found a load of weird sound deadening Gorrilla Glued down to the floor after pulling the carpet and its felt out.
Also removed the sound deadening from the firewall as well as I have ordered a new pack.
Lifting the carpet I found this little treasure....... Not sure why.
Other surprises hidden behind the side panel carpeting which came out when I removed the air inlets to repaint, included this bit of blue skies on the drivers Side.
This was the camouflage that hid that damage......
On the passenger side, this little surprise was hidden under the door rubber.......
After realising what needs to be done, I shot out on the bike to Halfords for Kurust, then to Martin's to cut a strip off one of his discarded bed sides to create a new sill edge.
As I put the truck away tonight.
Next job will be welding, then Kurust to convert the surface rust, followed by paint on the floor etc.
So ended a busy weekend, did a fair amount, and still miles to go, but I am starting to smile.
Need to get a new bottle of CO2/Argon mixed gas this week.
