A factory boot is pretty empty save for the spare wheel upright on the right and the jack on the left.
Have a look on OzGemini if you're into MDF and carpeted boots - just make sure it doesn't leak or the MDF will go soft.

Phew, been awhile. Since my last post i have successfully revinned the wee beast. if anyone wants to give me a quick rundown on how to throw photos up ill chuck some one here. One question i have is that in the grill there are two clip out sections of the grill itself roughly 130x90mm that look like they suit spotlights? anyone ever used these? or know what they are originally designed for?

Have noticed cutouts and sibderdd the same. Pics go to photobucket.com join up. Uploading pi s to there is easy. When you upload a pic there wil be 3 boxes with file names I them. Click the bottom one it should auto copy it then paste it o n your page. Once upon a time it took me ages to figure this out. Dumbed it down so even I understand.

Haha i broke the little pins taking them out so will have to drill and screw them back in >.< i dont see them when im driving anyways lol. Should have a weber in it this time next week. that'll probably do me for engine stuff for awhile, have a g200w sitting in my garage waiting for time to be spent on it. I'm eyeing up rims and suspension components though...terrible i know. Did think about throwing a lumpy cam in it but not sure i can be ciggyged spending on this engine. How many of us are there in chch?

After furious googling am thinking probably cobra lows with low monroe GT's to keep cost down (if they actually exist, will ring and see tomorrow) Does anyone know anything about rear swaybar kits for early TX's? I canna find any on anyones catalogues. Whiteline, pedders etc

TX is pre RTS so no rear swaybar.... whiteline do them but you'll need to add mounts on diff unless I'm wrong. Removed rear swaybar from my green wagon. Barely notice it for normal daily duties.

Im in Chch, I have a diff we can cut the old mounts off if needed - and for that matter weld them on.
Yes you can do cobra's, kings, dobi's - If I remember I'll get some prices for you tomorrow at work
