I bought them brand new from a company in Auckland, they're just aftermarket buckets they are really comfy! They mounted pretty easily as well I had to pack up both the drivers and the passengers door side with 25mm square bar and just bolted the original bracket to the bottom of the seat and it worked perfectly

Got a bit more done on my day off today. Got the back seats back in place and wired up the keyless entry all the doors work from the button except the drivers which I'm just waiting on an actuator to sort that problem and then all will be sweet. Here's a couple more pictures of the interior now it's nearly finished

Well started stripping the paint off the truck to respray it. Man its tough sanding a whole day today and theres still so much to do! Doesn't help that there are so many coats of paint on it already seems never ending trying to get through it. Got a couple of dents to pull out and repair too before I do the respray

Stick with it Chris. I'm so sick to death of sanding! But the end result will be worth it. Will you be spraying it in a shed?

Thanks mate I ordered an air sander to use with the compressor so hopefully that will improve things. I'm planning a weekend of sanding a repairing dents I reckon. Just had a look at your posts yours is looking good! I've got it under the car port at the moment and I'm not sure whether to spray it out there where there is more space or cram it into the garage, I'm going for the outside spray at the moment as long as it stays warm enough

If you do it outside make sure you're going to have a warm night or paint first thing in the morning. Condensation will ruin your finish if it's still wet at night.

Thanks for the advice I'm definitely in need of some, this is my first time tackling a full respray. Do you know how much paint you ended up using respraying yours?

4l should do you I think. I still have lots in the tin. I'll be doing small things tomorrow like the flares and fuel filler door, but this won't use much.
