How did you cut the aluminium to shape? I went to an aluminium place and they reckoned they could not cut that shape, and that a jigsaw wouldn't either.

I'm sure my jigsaw would have with the right blade, personally.

Angle grinder mate with a 1mm cutting disc.You just need for them to cut it to the over all shape and hit the rest with the grinder.

[dullbird]

surely you could have it laser cut?

[sschmez]

Looks good mate

tried to get something similar laser cut once and they wouldn't do it.
... something about the ally reflecting back the laser and it destroying the lens :confused:

Probably but a 1mm disc only cost $3.29 lol

[dullbird]

sure......

but i was really referring to the place that told him its not possible to cut that shape.

LOL.

That sounds easy enough. Might get around to it soon:angel:

[haggisbasher]

you would need an industrial laser cutter..... and it has to be treated before cutting. We can etch onto metal with ours but only with special tape.... (laser bonds the tape to the metal). You can etch very easily onto anodised aluminuim and also onto glass. Have done both very successfully. Cuts most things very well too..... but not metal.
I'd go for the grinder too.

Have you put in a sub somewhere else?

Looks sweet man.....

Mate of mine did his Checker plate Door panel with a Jig Saw after he marked everything out and used a fine metal cutting blade , he did a really nice Job of it :cool:

[XSiV]

the sticky tape is a nice touch.

I suppose if you cant think of anything just but a piece of check plate over it and cover it up.At least you can keep the old trim if you want to sell the car.

Finally finished today,wasnt sure if i could put the surround on the rear door handle opener,but it worked great.

[Pedro_The_Swift]

looks nice Matman,,:cool:

you can always add a small fold down table later:D

[long stroke]

Turned out sweet!!
Those clips worked then:angel:
I also see you put the spare on the back, any troubles with clearance?

a jigsaw does cut aluminium (we do it all the time). :D You just need to keep the material and blade cool, otherwise the blade clogs up. Best way is with water! :p and keep the speed down:cool:

[Basil135]

That looks smick...:)

But where do you keep the jack handle & other bits & pieces?

Actually i didnt use the clips there was to much crap in behind the panel,so i went with rivets.And the spare tyre "just" fits,its pretty much sitting on the rear bumper.I think with a new rear bar,which wont sit out as far as the original it will clear it.So ive got all those bolts and clips here if you can think of something to put them on lol.

Im getting a high lift to put on the rear tyre,and in the mean time there sitting in a bucket lol.

Jigsaw, wood blade and dry soap.

That's looks great, Nice job! I think it definitely looks better without the sticky tape ;) I just finished my rock sliders for the 130 so I'll have to post up a thread about that I guess.
