front end is pretty much done for now, just need bonnet spraying black, fogs added behind mesh, and graphics on bonnet
thought it would be an afternoon job - oh i was wrong!!!!
i had to:
rejoin grill in the middle where it had cracked
extend bumper to fit arch
make fibreglass brackets to lift the full thing 1/2 inch
move light on passenger side up, make new bracket and cut more metal away
realign bonnet cos it was hitting light
move one wing in, and one out n move bonnet across
repair about 10 cracks where the bumper has been modded
finish smooth recess
smooth toe hook
repossition air horns
foam fill the inside to strengthen it
recut new mesh and spray
redrill bracket holes on sides as its sitting higher on one side
and a few other things too
pretty happy with how it turned out, just needs a damn good t cut now to get the car to shine (not been cut in 4 months so its very dull)
front end is going lower once i get equipment, so will look a lot better
hope u like
marv

ste - i concidered it but mr plod wont like it
underwood - im at uni mate, but do it all meself when i go home (one weekend a month) or else it would look MAD if i had the time
AK -in 2002 i liked it clean and subtle, now i want it a bit more aggressive, so a big spoiler will suit it
i stil laint decided yet
and STILL want zorsts outta boot
