I personally dont like powder coating for bar work as once it is chipped away it is hard to tidy up.
I prefer paint then it just needs a dust up every now and then.
I only got the Bar primed as I was not sure how long until you would paint it so did not want it to rust.
The scrub bars I did not get primed as I knew I would be painting straight away.
I could bring the bar to the ARB night?? I am going to need your bar pretty soon.
Yeah no probs mate. ill have to strip my bar at home but I can take the rodeo at work and bring the bar in the tray as it will be a pita trying to get everything back on in the car park at 9pm at arb.
Do you want to do that?
I just didn't know if you were just going to leave my bar as is and throw it on your car or if you were going to spruce it up and respray it. It's actually in pretty good nick, no dents or deep scratches, etc...

So was there a reason you picked a wrx cooler, or was it just what you had? I'm looking at buying one of these from justjap:
Mainly because the piping for my RD28 GQ will be so much easier then having to pipe it all the way back round. I plan to either mod my stock plenum to be like this:
Or use a GU RD28 plenum, and rotate the intake 90 degrees.

Purely because a friend was giving it away mate with a lot of piping that could work that's all. I won't lie though, it was a bit painful trying to get it all to work though being a full custom fit.

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

Thread dig here sorry mate! To get your cooler back you cut that vertical bonnet catch steel bar off and took off your aircon thermo?
Any negative affects on aircon? And any affects of removing that support?
How's the cooler lasting over the rigures of 4 wding?
Nice work too mate keeps it subtle!

Hey mate ABs away for a few days but have a front mount on my GQ. Yeah removed vertical support just a couple of bolts top & bottom. Didnt notice any difference really maybe bonnet needs a firmer slam to shut but that might just be my catch. Took off the thermos for the aircon too, still works beutiful the only loss will be aircon might not get icy cool if just sitting there idling cos it's not getting airflow but hasn't been an issue at all with mine really. .
