Gluten for punishment. I thought bugger it. Now is the time. Hit the car with the random orbital with some 500grit paper and flattened off some of the peel.
Got the electric buffer out to give it some love ans the bloody thing was dead! Damn it. Headed into Repco and lucky for me they had the new model random orbital polisher at 50% off!! Yeah me.
Spent half of yesterday and best part of today cutting. Cutting. Cutting. Hard cut x 2. Medium cut then fine cut then swirl cut the polish.
Looks pretty good. Didnt get high gloss, more a satin finish as i would have needed to hit it with 2000 grit on the sander first and i couldnt be shagged. Should of but didnt.
Pretty stoked with the final result.
Started fitting the back door seals and ran out of light.

So after finally getting the sliders i found the bolts used on my old bar where too short for the new rear bar bu 10mm! so had to buy more this week. They are a rate 14mm bolt. When i took on into the bolt bloke he looks at me and gave me a concerned look and walked away!!! Im thinking WTF?? That aint good!!! Rare and bloody dear!!! Nearly $10 EACH!!!

So when fitting the rear bar it became clear that things had moved while welding off. I had tacked everything on the car bolted in postion. When i finish welded the tails on the sliders for the rear scrubbies they both creeped forward damn it so needed some clamping to bolt up. They where misaligned by 10mm. Both sides.
http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...018/05/203.jpg
Given how heavy things are and trouble with only having Naomi and Zach to help it was a slog. I was surprised then to find the bolts for the camburgs binding hard. Damn it 8 needed to run a tap down every thread which i didnt see coming at all.
Then this happened!!! MUTHA FUKA!!!!!
http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...018/05/204.jpg
took some getting out and a mate dropped in at the right time and we for it out with some patience and motivation! Kinda smashed me though!!
I had a spare tap so ran it into every other one. I was surprised how much cut was needed ro clean the threads. It was almost luke cutting s new one in every hole. No wonder i broke a tap.
Advice to ALL - DONE BREAK A HARDENED TAP EVER!

How on earth though are you going to explain the bilge outlet staring straight at Mr Plod drivers side? Maybe just give him a quick squirt and ‘bail’ outa there even quicker :-)

Looks like that tap is dry - no lubricant. Bit of a lesson there. Regardless of chasing out a thread or tapping a new one, always use lub as the task is very high friction at best. Those coulpings must be pretty hard as well I am guessing? How close to the threads are your welds as maybe they closed up a fraction from that?
Anyway, mean set of rails darren, but don't ever call my barge heavy after seeing these!!!!
WHAT!?! A Nissan driver that’s run out of lube? Now I’ve heard everything. [emoji23][emoji23]Quote:

When i bolted up the front scrubbies i realized he had cut too much off the top of the arch and my new flares would not go on. Damn it!
10 years ago i scored a pair of Brand New guards that have been hanging from the roof of the shed ever since and now is the time!!

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. LolQuote:

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.
