That must be the newer version more correct rear floor Ian was telling me they were making at m-machine, does it have the corner bracing already attached? Or did they leave it off?

I see you went with the front to rear door step panel instead of m-machines door frame repair piece that replicates the stock build style.

Great project. I wish I could come across a mini pickup to restore. Nice work mate, keep it up.
