Gave old Jim a new cambelt today, plus fitted mk4 passenger seat courtesy of FSE :D The young un fitted the punisher logo, still not sure about the black look though :?

Towel is cos the seat base was wet from cleaning it :wink:

I think I may still go the "tough guy truck" route but not change the colour scheme :)

Added a spot lamp bar to the "a" bar, it looked a bit blank in the middle :D

Also fitted some nice bling chrome reversing lamps and moved the loading lamp into the middle.
It looks much more balanced that way :D

The lamps cost £8 off the bay :shock: makes the running total so far £298 :lol: :lol:
