I am not the best painter in the world and I did'nt bother to fix any of the dents or deep scratches as I thought it will look like that after I go off roading for the first time.
Other things done are
Front and rear brakes (which neeed adjusting)
Fitted rear tank and sender plus new fuel lines
New indicator, brake and tail and park lights
Fitted halogen head lamp conversion.
Still waiting for shocks and a few gaskets to arrive and then I can take it for a spin.
Plus I need to cut the rest of the checker plate parts for the rest of the car.

Looking good Adam

I like what you have done with the tread plate on the front guards. I have a large number of holes in mine that are there from the tools brackets. I never use them now and have been thinking of how to fill or mask them.
On the tread plate on the door insides, have you put sound deadening or insulation material inside them? And did you put something between them and the door frames to stop electrolysis?
Oh, one more thing. Will you be doing much off-road stuff? I keep bashing the lower rear corners where you've put the tread plate on the sides (I see yours were bent too) and have thought about doing the same but I wasn't sure if they would only increase the amount of damage (as it is the bent metal is easily bent back out again).
Cheers

On all the doors (apart from the rear) there is sound deadening, I have not put anything in between the tread plate and the frames as later down the track I will be fitting a electronic anti rust unit which should stop that from happening.
The rear lower quarters were cut off by the previous owner and both sides were quite damaged so the panels tend to cover most of the damage.
The rear panels have also had some square tubing installed along the lower edge to give abit extra support.
I will take this offroad thats why I have gone down the route of fitting all the checker plate and also the race seats, plus once I save the money I will install a winch up front.
Adam
Looking good. I don't mind the Stage 1's :cool:
Plenty of bling there with the chequerplate :D As far is painting goes, agree to the fact that after a trip off-road it'l be scratched which then adds character :twisted:

This is the rear passenger door and also the worst (car had a roof rack)
Also looks like the beast will become a hybrid so to speak after talking to an engineer for the last month I have decided to do something different with her but more on that later
Adam
P.S. I still have not go the adjuster nut undone on the steering box:angel:
Nicely done!
Do you own a chequerplate factory or something?? :p
