looks sweet dude. ur getting good at welding..
funny how it has a strange resemblance to my rear bar same with ur sliders. maybe i should charge royalties.
gunna put tail lights in it and some pollished alloy on top. Gotta have some bling.

looking good

Cool man

all ya gotta do is put a 50 point exo roll cage on it in case you get "cough" directionally disoriented "cough" again. :D :D :lol: :lol:

Nah just jokes. is that body been done in primer or is that the original colour again?

with those side bits on the rear bar make sure you tie them back to the chassis. I used to have a rear bar with side bars and if you leaned the side against a tree it would push into the panelwork and dint it.

Update time for the rear bars. Scottie is busy on the car. Waiting for lights so we know what size to cut the recess. Johns is on his car and got a workout on the weekend at LCMP. Backed into a tree and did not move it, did not mark the bar either. Not completly finished either. More updates soon.
