It done much really. Started stripping the interior to paint the floor and lay down some sound deadening.

Got new wheels on. Need smaller tyres though. What tyre size is everyone running on a lowered bay?

So the floor paint prep, actually went a few steps further than I wanted to. Found a few holes I had to plug up with weld. Then got carried away, stripped absolutely everything out to find myself needing to do a few minor repairs but nothing crazy. Spent a lot of time removing glue.
Some of the interior panels have been painted white with some kind of gloss that looks like it’s been brushed on. I’ve tried cellulose thinners, white sprit. But nothing is budging it

Still removing this white gloss off the interior, having to use nitromors so that will all need repainted. Such a time consuming process. Only wanted to paint the floor lol

Got the bed back in, threshold cover in place
Can anyone tell me if the brackets on my bed are installed properly? Or should they be pointing down like the second photo?
