Boy those Japanese sure know how to squeeze them in. This is what our Rainbow looked like before the removal process began. Note the fold down "dicky seats" in each row. There was another one of these in the front passenger seats. From my calculations she was once a 28 seater (including the driver).One of the things I've noticed in reading other peoples project stories is how far they are willing to go in stripping back the vehicle. Because most bits were in such good condition I decided not to demolish more than I needed to. For this reason I didn't remove things like the roof lining or replace the vinyl floor. I also saved the bolts, screws, fittings and even some of the steel from the excess seat frames.
The roof clearance is only just over 180 cms so if you were taller than us you'd be forced into a roof raise but as we both had a couple of centimetres to spare I decided to leave her just the way she is.
