any progress?

fitted the engine, gearbox, radiator etc. I didnt touch it on the long weekend but should hopefully have it nearly finished this weekend.
Started on the front end tonight.
Shackle reversal with rear springs up front. The springs are 2 inch lovells that have an extra leave than a standard rear pack so i pulled it out as well as removing the load leaf.

Excellent, thats the only way to chop.

i am going to cut them out heaps like i did to the front.
I am going to cut out all the inner gaurd. Move the fuel filler to inside the cab and then re-make an inner gaurd up and screw on some of the black rubber flare.
On the front gaurds i have some 2mm sheet cut into a 20mm strip. I will weld that to inside edge where i cut it and then put on some of that 65mm black rubber flare.
Then at a quick glance she will look just like a stock narrow track

hahaha, that's what I said with 5" of lift, f100 rims and 32" bfg's all spring under.
I ended up running 50mm lawn edging for flares. cheap, tough as shit, and looks half ok.
