that window mod is badass. never seen it.

ive got universal kit in my crown. works ok. i reckon i'll give this a crack tho. cleaner install and looks like itd be alot stronger

[Tough_little_ke20]

Just have to watch the the window clears the motor, I packed out the guide rail inside the door 10mm to push the window away a little.

Started the hubs at lunch today, sandblasted the calipers tonight and reco'd one, need to get some silver paint for the bracket, they look a lot nicer and they're fresh inside

[Tough_little_ke20]

3 calipers rebuilt and the hubs are underway

wish i had those fabrication skills. lathe work i just love it and would love to learn it

[Tough_little_ke20]

Very handy skills to have, I'm a machinist by trade, just been making them in my lunch break, half hour at a time is a bit of a pain but getting it done

[Tough_little_ke20]

Bit of clean up work today

[Tough_little_ke20]

Got my quick shift and a pretty little trd knob today

So I've been waiting on my wheel studs from Mazda for a few weeks now, turns out they were on a ship, 3 turned up on Thursday so now I'm just waiting on the other 5

[Tough_little_ke20]

Sorry guys I've been slack, studs took ages and came in 3 deliveries then I got busy so today I finished the hubs and fitted them up, I'm happy now, she's taking shape slowly

[Tough_little_ke20]

Making a start on the front clip, just working out the profile for the flares

[Tough_little_ke20]

.Wow so sorry guys, can't believe it's 5 1/2 months since I posted anything. It got hot and I lost my motivation, I bought a 60 series cruiser and did it up for 4wding and then bought a tractor for the property I just bought and had to work on the tractor. Next thing will be working on the property but hey the good thing is I'll be building a big shed to build more awesome rollas in. My mates are constantly on my back about finishing this car to so I'd better get to it. Yesterday was 4 years since I bought it.

So tonight I have made a start on the flares, really happy with the style I chose. Tomorrow night I will hopefully tack then onto the guards then I can fine tune them with filler and bog up the dints and rust, give them a coat of paint and then they're ready to make moulds off
