This will be covered with polished alloy propeller plate. I have booked her in for inspection next Wednesday and if she passes we will be good to go.

The interior all reinstalled and we will be off for a final safety inspection this coming Wednesday and my truck will be legal to drive on NZ roads.
What a journey it has been building this truck. Had it's highs and lows during the 5 year process but to say I am happy with the result would be an understatement. | | |
