Looks interesting!
What are you aiming for? A mini truck?
Where are you located?

thats good.
so far i need all seals. door window seals, front and rear screen seals, little triangle window seals(drivers side latch for one of those would be good to)
ill definately be doin everything safely. Its gonna cost enough as it is without having to re-do things come cert/vin time.

For rubbers etc try Basis in Renwick, I got soem of MY stuff from them. Also try cobsmorriestuff.co.nz as he has rubbers too. Not sure if there are any good North Island contacts. - minor mods in wellington maybe?
Are you going to leave your door tops painted or change to stainless steel? (LCVs and early cars painted, later cars stainless) and if so are you doing the same with the quarterlights (triangle windows)? Originally they were also painted but painted ones are getting more scarce (rust). The catch is attached to them so its easiest to get the whole window if you can. I should have some stainless ones here, and might have some decent painted ones.

i may have my wires crossed but i think the window surrounds are stainless. have a look at top photo and one with the wheel trial.
once i get round to panel and paint ill have a better idea of what ill need.
Chassis came home couple of days ago. time to start strippin all the unnecesary stuff off.

Hi NZ_rotaminor
I just viewed your posting, it's an awsome project.
Have you progressed any further?
