Took about a year to get her done, in my garage. Every nut, bolt and washer replaced, or reconditioned to reuse. List is long - bigger highlights are:
- Parabolics
- ROAM 4 wheel disc brakes
- ROAM galvanized 10"rims
- Full respray inside and out
- New (to her) top and sides with sliding glass - new tracks, locks and hardware - works well vs fixed windows
- New (to her) rear hatch and tailgate vs door
- New Pierce intake manifold with Weber dual throat carby
- New (to her) Brownchurch rack
- New rear crossmember

My Series 3. Bought it as a solid non-running truck with a great drive train. I spent a few months doing a rear quarter chassis, parabolics, re-spray, interior overhaul, and refurb of many parts. Still working things here and there, but it has become a very reliable daily driver. I enjoyed it so much, I've even considered selling this one to do another. My wife and I drove away from it in our wedding in November! Here are a few after pics, and some of the "before":

Fly clubs, love the snowy shot, but I'm from New England so that explains a lot. Love the brush hanging from the tub for the rear area,,
