Well done guys - looks great.
Small note though, those small indicator/parker lights are designed as marker lights only and are not legal in that application. You might get away with it forever, you might not.
Just something to be aware of. I'm sure a bunch of people will post up and say they're fine, but they have been noted on a defect notice here in Vic, so if a cop was looking for something to defect the car for, they could be a problem.

We will get round to re-fitting a snorkal, but not sure what type yet.Lil'Loki wrote:Nice work guys. Looks great. Are you going to utilise the hole for the snorkel again or are you just going to leave a plug there.
Would like to go for a stainless pipe design.
Thanks everyone for your comments, we had a great night on Saturday celebrating the finish of the project. Its all down to Hailey now to complete the written part of the project
Ill post up some more pics of the car in daylight and of some of the other steps involved in the build.

on the lights, both hella and narva do a semi sealed head light replacement with the park light built in.
i'd then look at a set of led strips from hella recessed into the bar work between the tubes...
would make for a bit cleaner front end to.

A light can be ADR approved as a marker/indicator repeater, that doesn't mean it's approved as a primary front indicator. the ADR relates to area, colour, and light spread (that's why some of them are marked directionally - i.e arrow to the outside)alien wrote:the LEDs on front of my zuk are similar to this (dont stick out as far though) and they have the ADR stamp on the lens so theyre perfectly legal in WA... theyre designed as trailer markers and indicators.
There are acutally very few LED amber lights that are approved as a front indicator, and they're pretty big.

Now Linda & Hailey got a bit carried away with the buffer and cutting compound. This resulted in some of the pink being buffed off
We talked and talked over the problem, one week we thought it would be ok, the next week we didnt !
Eventually, we bit the bullet, pulled the bonnet off and repainted it
In the end, we all agreed that it was worth the effort

The bonnet rattled a bit on one corner and no amount of adjusting would fix it. On a visit to the local autoparts shop we noticed some bonnet latches, so thought they would do the job and also add a bit of bling !
Hailey drilling the pilot holes for the hook
Screwing the self tappers in
More holes to drill
Assembling the rubber hooks
Finished job

We have those same bonnet latches on the polaris at work as the sole way of holding the bonnet down and it goes about 80kph.

a big to you both!! an awesome and very inspiring effort. Out of curiosity.. what colour is it rego'd as? camp pink would look good on a rego lable
thought about a quick coat of black on the inside of the wheel arches and along the chassis rails? would just top it off nicely imo.
otherwise, fan-friggin-tastic! be proud, be VERY proud!

We picked up these ali rear qtr panels from our mechanic(Grant @ cross country 4x4) for the bargain price of $50.
Sikaflex is the gear to use. We tried liquid nails first, but it didnt stick.
We put some small blobs on first, just to check it wouldnt squeeze out the sides
Once we were happy with the fit, we loaded some more Sikaflex onto the panel and placed it on the car
Clamps help. Keep them on for 24 hrs

We did put some black on the front under the bullbar to cover the blue, will probably do the same under the arches etc.
I havent rego'd it yet, so not sure what colour to rego it
