so time to bolt the cab down firm, new bolts of course and nice big washers. the rear two had done what they all do and split the nuts out of their captive housings and the factory hole isn't big enough to fit a decent sized washer through so i ran a hole saw through and made them the same size as the others in the floor, i'll just put a grommet in to cover them up and they will look like that's how they were meant to be

pulled the roof lining out

and the factory insulation, no sign of rust at all no wonder these things rust so often though there is bugger all paint under the roof lining, pretty much just thin primer.

splashed the first coat of paint on, couple more coats on the roof and a few on the floor and I can start to put the insulation in.

You might as well spray some fish oil along the sides of the roof in behind the roofside support panels and the roof itself, as this is where any rust will start on the inside and eat its way out to the outside in the gutters.

great minds think alike, that's the plan. i'll coat everywhere in fish oil that i can't paint and hopefully it will stay rust free

so this turned up with a courier yesterday
it's 12sq meters of butyl rubber (doing the firewall, roof, floor and doors), 8sq meters of dense foam underlay, (firewall and floor under carpet), and 4sq meters of thermal quilt insulation (for the roof under the roof lining)

even though the picture doesn't show it the best, i scrubbed the floor with sugar soap and got all the crap off it, after it dries i'll wipe it over with prepsol ready for paint.

Excellent write up of a great build. I look forward to seeing more of it.
My advice is: not to follow my advice.
