How long have you had it? Sounds like you'll be getting to know the mechanical parts pretty well as the weather warms up. Luckily, there is alot of pre-existing knowledge and products to turn it into whatever you want it to be. I've had my '88 for nearly 6 years and it's never left me on the side of the road, but I found out there's always some new minor project that can be done to make it a bit more utilitarian. Enjoy

as much as i like the glass products (I've been looking at them since i bought the truck) i think I'm gonna go with a company in Quebec that does steel, when im ready. im more concerned about getting it back to a reliable mini beast.
