The leafs electric brake booster and pedal box is installed now. Next is the power steering column

Paints on the cab. Colour inspired by my wonderful Laura. Been flat out renovating in hopes of getting a place with more shed space

The first of the looms layed out to start thinning down

Well this weekend was fun. Started stripping the interior of the leaf out (sorry I'll get photos tomorrow) I wanted all the plastic out to uncover every wire. The leaf much like all modern cars have a canbus system so if certain circuits arnt there then none of the circuits will work. So I want them...

Well I picked up a leaf today. Time to do some testing on it then I'll be able to strip it to start mounting the motor

So I'm waiting for Bart to get his ute back so I can try fit a D21 Navara hub to the 620 spindle. I ...

Chassis was blasted on friday, so gave it a coat of black zinc followed by chassis black this weekend. Still trying to get my hands on a crashed leaf that ive known about since newyears. In other news ive come to the conclusion that i should use the factory diff and just run the motor off the drives...

Cab got blasted today then dropped off to Warrick for him do do him magic. Rust was a little worse than we thought but still worth saving.
