That's a huge guard chop. Very nicely done. Guessing 35+ tyres are on the books??

The guard chop is a rather large the previous owner was running 38s, It is also fitted with 4.6 crown and pinions so 35's would be nice to bring the revs down a bit at 100km but qld is a bit ordinary when it comes to modifying 4x4's.

Just going back to the standard white as I'm not really a fan of standing out like a sore thumb.

You reckon Qld regs are harsh, take a look at sa.. Lol

But yea fair enough wanting to blend in.

It annoys me no end that we are subject to a buch of laws basically made for cars. I could go on a rant but its 12:12 AM and I just finished skimming some more bog on and I'm done.

I did do a bit of a tidy up on the guard chop and welded in a 25 mm lip made from panel steel to stiffen them up a bit, its not perfect but the flares will cover up and flaws.

[Matt195583]

Righto all the major panel and bog work is completed and its now all one colour again, Metal Fix red apparently this stuff is used on oil rigs, ships and all sorts of other applications we will see how it goes as a preventative measure.
Tomorrow we block it back for grey primer then block it back again for colour.

Here is a bit of a before and after of the left hand rear quarter that was proper bent.

[Matt195583]

I'm really liking the modified rear wheel arches right now.

[Matt195583]

Here she is with the final coat of primer blocked back with 400 wet and dry.

Looking good mate!

[Matt195583]

Got it painted today acrylic + clear. Still needs to be wet rubbed and polished but it should come up mint.

[Matt195583]

I really need to work out how to rotate my pics :/ I will get some more pics in the daylight tomorrow, the last coat went on at 7:30pm.
