Thanks for the info - much appreciated. I got a puma shroud (I think) for cheap that I'm planning to use. No doghouse or outlets. It's pretty beat up though so I've got no problem massaging it with a hammer - it's even got filler round the outside  Keep up the good work Darren |

Got a couple of hours yesterday and today on it, lots of boring rust removal and finally some new metal going back in, I had to fit everything at the back to get the Hookys bumper mounts in the correct place. Rear apron/valance is now removable as well, at least it looks like a car rather than a pile of rust now  cheers Richie |

Yes just bolted on, I have one hole that needs opening upwards slightly on the wing as it only lines up half way to the body nut but that is all I will have to do to them cheers Richie |

Small update, all structural welding done on body so separated it from pan, finished the framehead repairs to pan and stripped all the old paint, underseal and seal sealer of it and prepped it for some paint, its now got a good coat of satin black on it and is currently drying, next I will build the pan up ready to go back under the body. Its booked in to have the cage fitted in about 3 weeks so got to keep at it  cheers Richie |

I have them on the old cab and haven't seen any issues but it doesn't do 1000s of miles a year so not sure how they will hold up yet, have heard of failures in very short time but never figured out why when mine are good after 6 years or so

I have a magna fuel reg that couldn't keep up with the new cabs demands so using that, and pump is a generic 911turbo cheap[£40] repo that just comes in a brown box, used them before but will have to see if it can supply enough for everything cheers Richie |
