Finally getting around to the interior, today cut the boards for the back. Carpet on order from Chris Willett, gas filler installed. Almost ready to haul some 02 parts. V@V fast approaching



Have finished making and covering the door panels



Another shot of the carpet. Chris Willett has a nice product and great service!! Only had to make some small alterations (shorten) to fit the truck (not the products fault!)



Rear side panels waiting for me to decide what to do



Took the little truck to a couple of hot rod gatherings last weekend Sort of a 'crossover' truck you know. Here is a shot with the big boys



In Memory of Dad Thanks for all the encouragement and wisdom!

After riding around for a year with just a 4 speed, my hearing finally said enough, and so I just finished an upgrade to a 320i 5 speed with OD. Nice and smooth and a little quieter now, ready for the summer events including the Vintage in May. Thanks to Al Taylor for the very nice 5 speed and to Keith Kreeger for the 5 speed sticker! Keep on 02 Truckin!
