Bumper before

bumper after mods narrowed and frenched

 

[outlaw]

The bumpers need overiders i think i may use something different time to look about

 

[gninnam]

Like what you have done to the bumper - very different and original

 

[outlaw]

Thanks I am looking for some differnet overiders now for front and rear just to complete the look

 

[outlaw]

The long job of body prep has started the front panel and a posts are at an acceptable standard now and in primer
Now to the arches and inside of the a and b posts - man i hate prep work -
One good thing all of the steel has now turned up to finish the roof so i can jump form one job to the other.

no the bus isnt wonky just me not able to take a level pic
It also now has Audi 200 rims all round -- hey i want a pair of 215 55 15 or 225 55 15 as my 195s arnt wide enough not the correct look

In the mean time i will keep on rubbing down :roll: :roll: :roll:

Coming on nicely 8)

Are you going to lose the bulge on the front panel??

 

[outlaw]

No i am keeping it in at present

 

[gninnam]

No i am keeping it in at present

Same as me

 

[outlaw]

Not a lot to report as its body prep time lots of filling and sanding - the ICE equipment is noe sorted 2 subs 3 amps -
I have made up my mind to go radical on the engine cover and hinge panel still need parts

Rear Irons rough one as i will be modifying them
1/4 lights -
window rubbers -
cab Door handles -

my god i hate body prep

 

[gninnam]

You can do it

 

[outlaw]

Not been posting for a while as its only body prep and nothin to show realy only dust -
I have now mounted a flush mount third brake light in the hinge panel and now have all the ice kit and the new number plates, all the veneer has been ordered so i hope it will all fall together quickly once painted.

A uniform colour always pulls it together :mrgreen:

 

[outlaw]

A little more progress has been made the roof is now all in high build and the p/side is now all ready to be primed -
It was pointed out to me i had left a joint lip on the front panels - I have now removed it and made and fitted a swaged infill panel -
I am nearly ready to colour the shuts

With the lip

Without the lip on
