I'd want to at least paint the driver's door jamb.
At least 2/3rd of the can are left, I want to do all the jambs eventually but the main priority was the exterior.

Maybe you could try to make a Kammback which would also provide some weather protection for the loads attached to the platform.
The L300 is my partners pop top, she is slowly doing it up to live in, I have a matching one in maroon without a pop top that is getting a ground up rebuild, (#OscarVanWild and #fernthevan on Instagram) I'm working on the possibility of a Prius drivetrain swap once I learn more about this car.

Did by any chance you get to weigh the load?

I like the leaning tire, looks like a kammback frame to me.

A kamm back/partial boat tail is definitely on the cards built off the rear carrier.

I didn't get a chance to weigh the load but there were a lot of tools and scrap metal and wood so it wasn't light.

This brings me pretty much up to date with the current progress on the car, so updates will be a little slower from now on.
