Re: GRIZZ’s English 2001 S10 Extra Cab 4.3 V6 Truck

After another rubbish night, I was woken by the cat I do not own.

After feeding him, he went out to sit and watch is property.



So this morning I fitted the newly welded and painted spare wheel carrier.

No plan to add an alarm switch to the spare, so deleted that.



Masked up the space saver that I had painted black last night after deflating it, tucking the cardboard under the rubber.

Ready for paint.



Once the paint partially dried, I removed the cardboard barrier.

Happy with that.

Tidier than it was 24 hrs ago.



Once spare was fitted to the carrier I fetched the old license plate and the new one.

Ugleee vs pretty.



Then pushed the car out into the sunlight.

Really happy with the look, except the roofrack, or is it roll bar?



Next job was to start on the side panels in the dash to start figuring where to exit the two footwell vents.

Dash back in.

Ohhh, and I redid the scrim foam on the screwed up kick panel.



Marked and made the first hole.



Also made a pair of super ugly joiners for the blower to get to the vent holes.



The back ends will be bonded straight onto the sides of the blower unit.
