I'll have a think about it ..
I used to have 3mm aluminum plate on top of the sliders, but on 2 occasions the stick jammed between the plate, slider-bar, and the ground -- and speared through the plate.

I now have some WHITEY goodness !
Bodys all done, Bonnet and Gaurds to be painted soon.
Only a subtle effect, but the shots below (ph pics) kinda show how the Ice Pearl looks different depending on light/angle, be intresting to see it out it in bright daylight/sunshine.

So when are we getting it muddy
Cant wait to see it finished
I used to cruise... NOW I PATROL!
It will still be months yet im afraid, ive still got lots to do, plus i wont have a undercover area at home to do all the re-assembly, this means ill have to do everything on weekends (if its not raining) so progress will be limited.Originally Posted by nissannewby

But don't worry, i have not forgotten just what a bought a 4wd for in the first place !
Good stuff. That colour looks schmick mate. I reckon it will look good at night under the right street light
yes, of course, 'cause you are still doing it :-)
Fixing fixing fixing is what we all do with our toys- just that some have more practice than others :-)

True Rick, and if you use em, now and then you have to fix em !, half a year of fixing is not what i had in mind, i must admit (lol)
Bonnet and Gaurds are painted now, had a couple of issues with stonegaurd application on the sills, so will be more painting before it comes home yet.
I decided to fix up my front tube bar as well, as unfortunatly, thanks to poor powdercoating coverage, my bar went rusty on the inside after my one visit to Moreton, i know the beach is harsh , but the bar was only about 2 weeks old
When i first fitted the bar i noticed the left side was not quite correct, it didnt stick out far enough to protect the front of the car like the right hand side, and also the lower spotlight hit on the bar work a little, i did go back to the place i purchased the bar (the very next day, they agreed a problem), but after many months of "stories" and not recieving even one of the promised callbacks, i realised, if i want it fixed, id have to do it myself !
The first 2 pics are of the centre section
This is behind one of the wings
I had to open a 7mm gap on the mounting side of the left wing , this fixed the 30mm setback at the bar corner (front and side)
All welded, now both sides are even, ill send all 3 bits off to the sandblasters next, then to get a "decent" Powdercoat job !
