Yeah haha it isn't for any of my cars dw, a friend of mine wanted one so i said id do it for her.

SteveXc Posted March 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 (edited) EDIT- Got a bit bored tonight, so dummy fit up the chrome bars. Front is a perfect fit, just need to drill new holes to match the support bars. The sides on the rear bar are longer then the originals but might look ok once fitted. can't get the old support bars off to dummy fit it properly, bolts are on sooo tight! But will give it another crack 2moro. Edited March 18, 2011 by SteveXc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old fella Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 Looking good Steve, I`m glad to see the old girl getting the attention she deserves. Keep up the good work. Blame my son for the tight bumper bracket bolts. He`s a gorilla with a spanner in his hand. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.L.Z.BUB Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 Try find some ke30 bars, I fit them on mine and they look really good. A smidge too wide but fit nice and tight to the body. And they only cost 60 bucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah doing a bit more to her then i was going to, I'm a bit like that tho, once i start something i need to do EVERYTHING, even tho shes just gunna be my daily i still can't half ass it ahah. Yeah those bolts are on damn tight! still havnt got them off. Try find some ke30 bars, I fit them on mine and they look really good. A smidge too wide but fit nice and tight to the body. And they only cost 60 bucks. Yeah i like the front bumper i have fit really well, its a ke55 bumper i think, but might need a different rear bar. Anything will look better then the stock oversized black ones! Got bored after work today so sprayed up the engine bay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveXc Posted March 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 Thats looks pretty good man, did you leave a lot of sh1t in there and just be careful? Yeah only took the washer bottle/overflow, coil and some relay off, everything else stayed on, just covered everything up. Still need to get some thinners onto the brake booster to clean some overspray off. Came up pretty good for a quick afternoon job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
