Oh sweet just had a bit of a trawl through some b1600 photos and I can see what you mean!

I used to think that some of the wellsides looked s bit funny and now I know why. I think the same thing happened with some of the early hiluxes too - there are wellsides that are a bit boxier and don't carry the body lines as fluidly.

Your seat looks awesome, re-trimmed?

Autodec carpets are pretty good. I think (from memory) it's $185 for a carpet set for the B1600 and it is an exact reproduction of the original. They can do it in almost any colour you like and it usually takes about 2 weeks. They are also really good in that if you need it tweaked they are always happy to do so etc.

12a2nv- cheers mate, good motivation to get some stuff done to update the thread haha

 

rob.121- thanks man, i just used a universal rubber bush from the mount shop i think it was called kit 2 and just new bolts and washers from blacks fasteners, the old rubbers were naffed and these ones squeezed up nicely and semi located in the chassis, then have used pieces of rubber cut into squares on the well side and it sits even and and body lines up good

Hey. Really like where this is going. I have one awaiting some work. But am unsure how to get it sitting right. The white one you purchased looks to be sitting a fair bit lower than standard. Can I ask what has been used in the front end?
