Yeah that is the primary reasons for not completely removing the body lift. I kept 20mm blocks to ensure that it would clear. Glad I did cause finding another 20mm under the bonnet would be impossible. I think I have enough in my IC to adjust to close the bonnet but another 20mm would smash meQuote:

So got back on the GQ this Arvo. Finished tightening all the body bolts and finalized the body lift reduction. Very pleased.
Then the daunting. Lifted the bonnet and started on the intercooler.
Out she comes

Test fitted to intercooler back in and shot this vid with my iPhone in the engine bay. We are close! Very close!!

So with the body lift gone I am glad I drilled these holes for the top of the front shocks or they are never coming out!!!

A lot of work Daz, getting there mate looking good . . . The bar work will be fun [emoji4] . . .
Been busy!
Are you spraying the guards yourself?
Also I wonder if you could find some rubber bungs to in the shock tower holes, it might help keep dirt out out the engine bay?
Yeah I reckon I could. I used a hole saw so it's a nice neat hole. Not sure how much would enter there versus the rest of the engine bay though? Will check it out though cheers.Quote:

Isn't that why there's a hole cut there?Quote:
