So spent some more time today on the old girl. I removed the front flares ready for the wider flares. As you can see in the pic they were put on for keeps!!!

I cut the back of the front guards when I did the last build but needed to take some off the front too.

Very pleased, came up a treat.
So I can't put the flares on until I fix the dents in the quarters, all 4 quarters need some love.
Unfortunately the previous fibreglass repair got smashed and delaminated off the guard so I had to hack it off and start again. Bugger!

Got a few extra dents out and have fibreglassed again. I have also hit all the guards with the random orbital and also gave some love to the bent roof gutters too.

Looking good there mate
Nice work Daz! I still can't get over how big those tyres are compared to your Simex's. There is way more than 2 inches there!
