Well ... what a day ... have all the bar work done - just need to rip them back off tomorrow and grind down the welds etc - can't finish them until the chop is done to the quarter panels on Monday [have to wait till it's cut to be able to put the side support bars back to the chassis], and once that is done, will paint them up and stick em on permanent like!!! lol So still some work to do yet, but these shots will give you the idea ... should look awesome once cleaned up, painted and with the rear chop chop done!
Thanks dhuck for your little japanese like hands - invaluable!! LOL - You were a great help mate, greatly appreciated!!!
Top bar - 60mm OD tube - set and aligned to allow us to measure up the angle etc for the bottom tube [48mm OD]

Another shot with the rear bumper rubbers placed back on to show how they'll sit - couldn't get two of the bolts out that snapped the other day [bent the ezy out!!], so will need to get them drilled out and re-tapped.

Both bars complete [with the bumper rubbers again just sitting in place to give an idea of the look]

So far, so good ... thoroughly worth doing yourself if you get the chance. Will post up some pre and post chop chop shots on Monday once done, and then get the brace/support bars done to hold the sides in place and paint those bad boys up and install once and for all ...
