    It just looks good in that picture. We had to weld in a ****load of sheetmetal in order to pass inspection. But that`s great, i earn my money this way. Well, today didn`t exactly go as planned. Got a call that there was water coming out of my shop. Turned out a water pipe on the ceiling busted...

    No, that`s one of the regulations that`s pretty user friendly. If there is an extra switch to control it it is considered a work light and doesn`t need any approvement. Of course there will be another switch that ties it into the highbeams but i won`t tell them about it. :ylsmoke: Pretty self...

    Thanks. It`s called Kaiflex, it`s a closed cell structure with in-built water vapour barrier. Work`s out pretty good.

    It`s called PEX, that`s like a sandwich out of polyethylene and aluminium: No videos cause i was out there alone.

    Had an idea about how to built the roof cover. Couldn`t wait so i bought some stuff and tried it. First i cut the clear plastic to fit: This is how it`ll go in: Going to cover it with some more film poster, maps and stuff. Also put in my front window mats: The rear ones will be custom...

    Way easier to buy it than to build it. This one was exactly like i wanted it so i didn`t think half a second about building it myself. Put insulation in the passenger door today: Took it for a spin to my other shop: Didn`t stop cutting stuff away until those thing´s fit back in...

    Those are made by Hella and called "Luminator Metal". No experience yet but they look and feel like high quality units.

    Got it back today. Failed poorly putting the rear windows back in. I`m used to doinf windshields and used as much glue as i would on a windshield. Well, won`t be really visible anymore when i`m done with all the stuff on the rear doors. At least it won`t leak for sure...... Also got the new...

    Not sure on the right english term, the translator says "tinning". I think that`s probably right cause it sounds a lot like the german "verzinnen". But, it`s a lost art here too. We don`t do it at work anymore, just use bondo, cheaper and faster...
