So i have done a few small things to the B in the past few weeks and thought i would open up a project thread for it, i haven't done much, but i've mono leafed the rear, cranked the torsions, shaved bum stops, i've de-badged it, redened out my tail lightsi've also started painting it,( first coat) i choose flat white for it just cuz i love the look of it,, I'm waiting on my 18'' navi wheels sometime next week i hope, trying to find some ranger headlights to do that conversion
but heres some pics

Good luck on your project. Keep us posted because you know we are all picture whores. You may want to at least put the overload leaf back in for safety.

you put it on top to de-arch the main leaf and straighten it out. after several months there you can then flip it and put the overload on bottom.
