as you can see who ever had it before drilled 3 holes on top
ordered some jb-weld to fill holes
next internals where wet sprayed black (badly) so had to strip that off

Nice stuff so far, keeping an eye on this one.

I just pretend my TJ06 is an 07......

Interested to see how this develops, i like it when you see people actually building parts, usually becomes a good thread :-)

Nice looking work so far - keep up the updates..

[mac124]

Hmm not sure about the black / white internals tbh. One or the other would look good but both?? I think its where the mobo tray ends and the "extention" begins that spoils it for me tbh. If that extention bit was black it would look better, in my opinion.

NOI just my 2p as they say, the rest is spot on, liking it and can appreciate the work gone into it :thumb:

[SilveR_172]

Go for the white fan grill mate

[nescafe37]

looking good buddy

[Pancake]

Now get some PC in it!

[aidan2007]

I still think you should have gone with white exterior and black interior. From your avatar it seems you have a red one already anyway..

[aspdend]

Looking good mate...not a fan of the red either...but will wait to see how it all comes together first.

[aidan2007]

I take back what i said about the white and black..

.. should've gone CARBON FIBRE
