OD has been done a few times down here. Thinking of something like white, orange or tool box blue with black bar work.

Tool box blue, kind of like that one from 4x4 monthly (otis), don't mind the colour, not sure about those flares on it though.

Purple, thats what it was, another being built near here that colour.

Lime green, would kind of blend in with the many $100 notes that have been spent on it

Few pics.

Should get it all together tonight, mount the flares and new bonnet pins on the weekend, ready for driving to work Monday

Looking great mate... but I have to admit I had a thing for the Nemo red/orange

bigsteve - that colour turned out a treat... it looks a bit like those models you bought as a kid that were made with plastic, and you painted them with your own paint... :cool:

did you paint the rims?

Heheh Your right, like the insides of the flares (Plastic mould)

I haven't done the rims yet, probably on the weekend.

I still have 2 litres (only used less than 2) for yours :finger:

Is that another way of saying: "Greg, there may have been some issues with overspray"

:oops:

Hey Steve,

Since you have left over paint don't you think you should 45 and plate those door sills? I do recall someone mentioning that they "looked cool...do it on yours...it gets that buggy look...its cool"

mmm body trimming.....mmm plasma cutter

it's different

not bad, definately quick!! definately would look cool with some subtle flames on the front :cool:

and will show the mud up nicely!!!

are u gonna have the flares attached permanently, or do ur almost-quick-release thing again?

Post by **bigsteve** » Fri Jul 30, 2004 11:50 am

Thanks Mate,

The flares will be removable, something to like what Greg and Droopy Pete have done which is a threaded insert. So the flare screws to a captive nut on the inside of the panel.

Sorted out bonnet pins today, went to attach the Flares and discovered I'd been clean out (probably my father-in-law) of all manner of bolts and screws, I'll chase some up tomorrow.

Just gotta attach the flares, give my rims the chrome treatment then its sorted.

Post by **sierrajim** » Sun Aug 01, 2004 12:25 am

Chrome?

Post by **Dozoor** » Sun Aug 01, 2004 12:43 am

Exellent !

Post by **bigsteve** » Sun Aug 01, 2004 7:43 pm

Flares attached.
The sills are definately gunna get the chop, will be putting on 1/2 doors (as soon as I clean & spray them)

But all in all.

DONE
