Huracan do a kit for GU and GQ, I picked up the seats from a wrecker for $100 each I thought that was pretty good, the XR6 seats are comfy as too with a good range of adjustment and adjustable lumber support too

now you just need the "fish n chip warmer" switch too LOL they look like a seriously comfy seat..the wrap around your kidney area bit really does it for me..the isuzu trucks have wee airbags in there too so can inflate to your own level...awesome concept that should be in every vechile

They'll be like new after a quick steam clean on Friday

If there's still a bit of a stain left grab a rug doctor with the furniture wand - they do a surprisingly good job on car interiors. I got a Navara D22 cheap, off a dealers lot at 14000K's with a brown-grey-yellow interior instead of light grey. The previous worker had been smoking cigars in it, and no one else in the company would use it it stunk that bad! The dealer's gear couldn't touch it on their grooming floor - they only had the basic stuff so sold the ute off cheap (I recall $32K for a 2007 model ute at 11 months old and 14Kms? Cost me something like 23K with trades etc).

The rug doctor with upholstery attachment and a heavy dose of carpet stain solution in it knocked it back to looking brand new in one pass. Did two goes on it though, the thing smelt like it was a brand new carpet after that and looked mint as. The dealer looked at it when I brought it back for the first service I negotiated into the sale after sniggering at me about it being a write off basically - thought I had swapped the roof lining out and was peeved when I wouldn't tell him what I'd done to it haha. Basically saved me 14965K on the ute I think ($35 to hire the rug doctor for two hours).

chemico..the stuff Mum used to use to clean the bath,in the pink pottle will take cigar smoke stains of glass better than anything else..... works awesomely.

The pics make them look way worse thsn they actually are, they were still quite damp, they've been sitting in a hot dry greenhouse for a few days now and the dirt will pretty much brush off with a bristle brush, the steam will kill any nasty stuff unseen to the eye and deodorize them too. Will post pics post steam cleaning after Fridays working session. If they don't come clean with steam I have a few other tricks up my sleeve.

Picked up the new deck today, absolute bargain $400 complete with mudguards, tail lights, reflectors and fuel filler mount.














Only a fleeting visit today, no time to work on it, but roll on Friday i have a big list of stuff to get stuck into

You got a nice deck.. (Not to be said with an Aussie accent)

thats the same just shorter than the one brother in law had on his early cab and a bit nissan..... we had issues with fuel tube being too flat so cut hole in deck and mounted spout under it...worked great unless loaded up and needing to refuel. the step on front corners is absolute GOLD for getting up onto deck.

Something to watch, with my deck being mounted higher it should be ok, will keep an eye on it when setting it up as there are options if it is too flat. Yup the side steps may have to go sadly as they will be in the middle of the wheel arch, will figure something out though. Will know better when I've got it mocked up.

Maybe you can 'hook-up' the ex-owner (to NZ Hunting and Shooting) so he can watch his project get completed..That is one-cool-truck

It's definitely not his jam sadly, but I have stayed in touch and promised to let him have a spin when it's finished

I'm guessing you've seen this
