Step rubber or step mat . leave it till its done as you can cut them going into rusty holes..
Well the vagon arrived back home at 9 this morning
big mirrors do suit it
have to say it was a most pleasant 200 miles drive , did about 34 ish mpg at steady 65-67 just very comfy

Saw this in the flesh today, looks as good in the flesh as it does in the pics
Cheers Paul for the sarnies and coffee, made the journey to Woking soooooo much nicer
Did you find out if that was a swarm flying over - really bizarre!
Cheers,
MM

Re: The Trukkvagon is coming
Look I forgot to remove the plastic caps off the rad arm bolts and they got painted the works and in an earlier picky it was noticed and i could reply that I was aware of it and that they were a spare pair i fit to prevent build up on the threads or the plastics(which I usually do) but in this case I clean forgot. I either like them as like this or the mounting in black.
but I bet your a pedant when it comes to boxes or at the very least a closet pedant
