There was a guy at the junk yard with a green lifted wagon like this. i was talking to him, he was saying he put a locker for Torq works in his.
Damn. I should have told him to come join SL-i

Great thread! How did you remove the door cards? I had my doors off recently, it looked like I would have to drill out the plastic rivets.
