Was lucky enough to get a set of the new Tow'd Cushions from PRP Seats. These ones are for a Blue Tow'd but show the style and look, nice and comfy
Then we fitted the rear bar ...
Of course it doesn't fit with the side winder exhaust as it had been made without the engine fitted by a previous fabricator. So what was suppose to be a quick bolt on of a freshly painted bar turned into a PITA and we will have to cut the bar up and the exhaust up to get it to all work, have to love buggies...
Oh well ... under 4 weeks to go now  |

WHAT KIND OF SPRAYER IS THAT? It looks like an awesome death ray from Men in Black. Can you spray only undercoatings?
Very cool and a great build

Yes, PRP now have them in template stock and you can simply ring them up and order them. I gave them a Tow'd body to use and explained how I wanted them to be made / work. What you see is the end result and the aim was to allow people to just ring up and order them as opposed to dragging a body in or having to find a local trimmer.
I will post some pictures of the seats for this next week when I pick them up along with what the retail price is or you can just ring PRP Seats and ask them. |

It is a Cartridge Gun for spraying Poly Urethane which comes in a part A and Part b and mixes on the way down the tube. It is primarily for spraying ute liners and the guys at Armadillo Lining supply us (http://www.armadilloliners.com/) . Before them we used Rhino
You can spray anything but it will be a textured finish. We use it on all our floor pans and other bits we need great protection an d good durability. |

Looks like Barbie Didn't really want Black so we rummaged around in the back and found some green paint which seems to be a bit more like what she had in mind .

That is actually a good looking green for a Tow'd. Good choice.

well time it ticking and the tow'd must get done. With the aim of this Tow'd going to Big Bear and not wanting to spoil the surprise and the excitement of the owner getting to show people her Tow'd for the 1st time I will offer one final picture before staying mum till after Big Bear when I will update the thread with the rest of the build pictures.
The Elves have been hard at work
Buggy On !! |

Excellent work. I just picked up a tow'd in pretty good shape and I'm local. I'm in West Hills in the SFV. Since I'm new here I'm not sure if you have a shop (but it looks like you do) and would love to get your info as there are a few things I'd like to have done to mine. Since I just joined, I can not pm you yet. Point me in your direction, and I will be in touch. THANKS!
