Did you let them down so you could reach the roof? It's a Bugger being short as I know well.

Was something I didn't think of when I repaired cracks in the rear door frames, luckily didn't do too much damage before I noticed but yeah the laminate melts up pretty good[emoji6]

So the wheel stick out about 120mm. The bar work was built to suit that and I have a roll of 125mm proper flare rubber that will go on and also attach to the barwork too..

Huge weekend on the GQ. Im knackered. Whole car is Sanded. The roof rack is welded on and bog and sand and bog and sand and I think most of the panels are straight. Had a couple of creases in doors that have been a bastard to flatten out but we are done.

Spent an hour at Bunnings reading sikafflex and alternative labels and then googling product codes to get the right goo for the roof. Had to be the most expensive stuff!!!

I need to fill this valley.

Got the pressure washer out and washed down the car. We are nearlly ready. I will sikafflex tomorrow night and paint next weekend.

Conscious that it's rubbed back I really wanted paint on but just ran out of time. Was out at first light today and just hav ing dinner now.

So I set up a tent I have that I was going to use as a spray booth. Not sure it's going to work as it's a bit short but it will protect it for the week hopefully and I will see if I can lift it somehow next weekend when it's going to be 30degrees again.

Looking real good now Daz... Well actually it looks pretty rubbish at the moment but it'll look shit hot next week!
I'm pretty excited to see some action on it to be honest mate
