So i had to make an adjustment to the bracket for the snorkel as the A Pillar rail changes the way it sits

By accident, I found that if I let the tyre get right up into the guard at very slow speed through wombat holes it'll put a really nice compound curve at the bottom of the wheel arch. Looks Like it was professionally rolled. It didnt even crack the paint. Lol

very nice build

So went in and spoke with my Paint bloke today to ask about trying again to get the Gloss up from Satin in this paint. Basically this paint is an Industrial Paint. Tough as guts. Cheap. Perfect for my application. Can Not be Buffed. :-( Once the gloss is gone its gone forever no matter what i do. Best bet is to give ti another Coat. No Faarrrrking Way and i doing that! Paint looks AWESOME!!!

Went in and caught up with Lights too and sorted out the LED Light bar for the roof and a 60w rear LED Light fort eh reverse light. SIK. Paul did a great deal. He seriously has some Kick ass products in there. Check out his Vendors thread and his website.

Got a little bit done over the weekend. Front guard is back on.

Lights!! Its been long time coming but stoked with how it has cone together.

Stoked. Not wired up yet but mounted and ready to go.

Pulled out the passenger side seat and fitted the bilge pump to the passenger side too.

Pulled out the centre console and entered the world of 12v wiring again. There is a lot to do there. Remove and replaced a number of switches for new tasks and fitted 4 2.1amp usb charging ports.

I am going to drill through the roof and fit gland for the roof lights And the gland i had was too small so will grab a couple during the week and drill that next weekend.

Spent some time figuring out what was happening with the wiring at the back of the car and OMG its all coming out. Start again with a new supply from the front to a Narva fuse box at the back. Next weekend for that.
