Added the 800wt, box and tool boxes and running boards.

Must be nearly ready for paint Jim? Ron

Still figuring out the paint, I would like to leave the original rusted look, just trying to figure out ho to deal with all the new metal.

Now down on the ground, my cheapo rear fenders need major work, sliced them apart and added 5” so the fenders will match the running board width.

Fenders mounted, need to shorten the rear of the fender to match the frame.

Made the frame to hold the tool boxes, probably overkill, but did not want any bending with the weight of the boxes bouncing down the road. Filler panels under the box are made. More welding and grinding are on the agenda.

More progress.
Built the fender for the passenger side, this is also the side that holds the spare tire.

With the T5 transmission the stock cover was too shallow, with a lot of grinding and welding I raised it up 1”. Still need to figure a nice way to do the transition at the back of the cover to the floor.
