well, I've had my beastie for nigh on 7 yrs I think,
I haven't done much with it untill the last 2 years, just slowly updating and small mods for Touring with it.

tis a 1989 Deluxe version (?) wagon
TB42 on Gas
electronic ignition
extractors & 2 1/2 exhaust
Sony CD/MP3/USB/Aux stereo & Kenwood Amp with boom box
DVD players in the front head rests
GU cargo Barrier
Dash Pod with pitch & roll meter
Overhead Console with UHF radio
cruise control
dual batteries
2" lift
Engel plug in rear
Cibie Super Oscar's with 35w 6000L HID upgrade - AWESOME
moved rear seats back 60mm for extra leg room in rear seat
some interior parts from UK spec GQ's

mods to do still
replace bent Ally roo bar
fit rear work light
re-wire all internal gadgets through as little as possible fuse blocks, instead of how it is now
fit rear air bag's for load leveling when Van on

on the road

something to watch

moving the rear seat

Nice setup mate, I like seeing these Rigs being used for how thay were intended instead of rotting away as oversize shopping trolleys.............Top stuff

Hey Col nice grey haired nomad looking toy mate. The internals show your a bit more devoted. Indeed reason to be proud.

Nice Col, very nice mate

thanks fella's
I am trying to decide on which way to go with the dash area.......
I have my GPS sitting on top of the dash pod, and have the reverse camera monitor on top of the dash..... and a battery monitor on there as well
with wires every where.
thats the need for re-wiring that place.
I have a heap of ideas, just lacking the motivation at the moment
I'm thinking of moving the stereo into the pod, and fitting the pitch & roll gauge where the stereo was
plus better interior lighting
plus better dash lighting
plus
plus
plus

I'll get there one day


cheers
