shes all stripped back... grill, head/tail lights all that jazz

pulled the trims off and filled up all the little holes down the side, just sorting out one of the front guards where its had a ding in the past. gonna straighten that out as much as i can myself and then sand back all the holes and that guard

then hit that bitch again with a good wet-sand all round and prime it. should be done saturday-ish

mission for sunday= ideally get the shocks/ springs out and clean up the breaks and put in the lovells/new shocks. getting blocks soon too

just gonna prime it matt black (gotta love that "piggbeyt" black :) ) and run it like that than pass it on once my 4wd is back on the road.

its gonna drop 50mm in the back -legal size blocks, and front should drop round the same, but i bought the springs second hand so not quite 100% on the height just yet...

gonna run rostyles to start with and once i buy 4 sets of shank type nuts ill stick my old wildcats on there-they kinda look like tridents but theres more smaller slots

please use the discussion page :rolleyes::)

hmmm a month since i started ay...

well panels are done as much as i wanted them done. lights and grill are all back in.

Lovells are stripped from the old assembly and my old shocks and springs are all apart. comparing them to standard springs they look like a 70mm drop or so in the front, still fiddy in the back

mission for saturday mornin is to put the springs onto the struts and back into the car, bleed the brakes and put the blocks in and thats that

pix coming over the weekend
