Finally back on the road.

Hi all, I finally got the truck back on the road last month. I bought it in May 2007 and was hoping to put it into use fairly quickly. Then I pulled the seats out to put some new ones in, and then removed the 'handbrake' to put a floor one in, then I found some rust so I took the dash out. then I thought why stop there so I tore everything else apart and began cleaning/fixing/rust repairing.

I found a lot of dodgy wiring so I rewired the whole thing too. The C6 was getting tired so it got a once over, along with the power steering pump/box.

It's still not totally finished, but it's usable and I'm in the process of moving house so I have to put up with the way it is until I can clear some time to finish it.

I got some slightly un-matched paint along the way and this really shows up in the side-on shot. I might fix that one day too. It's nothing special anyway, just industrial 2-pack.

Very nice, I'm in love with that bumper. Is it aftermarket or home made?

It's aftermarket, ARB I think, and it was on the car when I got it. I've got a couple of big spotlights to go on when I've got the time.
