(Pretty sure that's how the jingle used to go, anyway...)
As promised, I've finally gotten around to taking a photo of our new car, so I've put the "before" and "after" pics up for you all to see. We picked it up last Wednesday night, but Steve only did the tinting on it last Friday evening.
Thankfully, this one doesn't require much to be done. Steve has already installed his UHF and aerial, swapped out the original Nissan stereo for our Kenwood mp3 CD player, bought some new speakers for the front doors - for some strange reason the original ones had stopped working - and put his huge spotties on the bull bar. He just has to finish wiring them up properly to a switch on the dash.
He is still undecided as to whether he will keep the styleside tray it has now or whether to change it for an alloy dropside tray. This really depends on whether he can find a fibreglass canopy with the window configuration he wants, at the right price (ie. bargain). In the meantime, he's removed the polished chrome rear carry bar and the cargo pins, so that it looks a little less like a workhorse. (Photo with vehicle facing left is from the Trading Post ad, so you can see the carry racks it had)
All that's left to do now is the rust-proofing - both spray on and electronic, for good measure - and possibly some minor panel work on the dent. You can't really see it in the photo, but it is just above the side indicator on the front driver's side guard.
Hopefully, as this one is a turbo diesel with plenty of power, and isn't even 4 years old yet, he will decide this vehicle is our "keeper"... well, at least for the next half a dozen years anyway!
Fingers crossed!
