Here is a little update for you guys just to keep things current.

We have fabbed up mounting for the cooler in the back of the car. The next step is to plumb the cooler and strap it down for safety. We are also putting finishing touches on the seat mounting and we are reworking the crossbars in the front driver door to allow for more room for ease of exit.



Here are some pics:







Cheers
