" AWESOME BONNET".
Arms on the doors maybe ?.

thanks man, nah i dont want it to look like a show car, just a little mean. hence just the bonnet. 8 days now im so pumped!!!

so i realised that i didnt have a pic of the car before it was all in bits so i thought id put it up considering the big day to start painting is fast approaching so here it is.

also i got my solid windows from patroldocta today, so i pulled out my rear windows, sanded off a little pit of rust that was begining to build up on the large barn door in the window seal, took off all the doors and started sanding with some wet and dry. here are the pics:

lol yeah man, i love it out here, i got a shed as big as my house (and moy house is 4br) orange trees all around and a huge lawn(that needs a ride on) cant understand why anyone would wanna live in the city when life is so good out here (im from sydney originally)

Wow! That looks like an exciting challenge

ok, so i figured id put up some before shots of the car as today is the last day before painting starts on it. also i stripped back most of the paint off the bullbar and have included some pics of that as there was alotta surface rust. im really excited the day has nearly arrived. ill probably be videoing the whole thing, and will most likely post a sped up version of the whole thing on here. theres also some pics of my workspace on here too, i made up a windproof area in the shed and have plenty of hanging space for all the bits. enjoy fellas
