Just recently got to work on a slightly mangled and modified army bull bar which I dragged back to Adelaide from Pt. Lincoln years ago. One end was dinged and twisted, there were lots of extra bits welded on and the thing had been lengthened at each end by about 3", which caused the main vertical supports to foul the indicator and side lamps. Some grinding, cutting, welding and banging later and it's almost there now. I still have some grinding to do to clean up the welds and then it will be off to the galvaniser. For the chassis supports I think I'm going to have them angled down much steeper than original so that I can insert and weld into the chassis a pair of crush tubes; bolting them down that way. I'll be able to retain the dress panel that way too; will just have to cut a pair of notches into it.

Pics follow. That's it for now.

Yep I'm still here. No progress on the 2a tho. Happy New Year.
