So first things first was to get the headlights resealed:

Image

Image




Then reverse onto some blocks as it was too low for the jack:

Image




Fit the adjustable hangers:

Image




And end up on hole 3:

Image




Top one is the second hole, bottom pic the third. So still have 1 for slammage and 4 for load lugging:

Image




Sat down for a cuppa and noticed the mopping marks:

Image




So fitted the front end on and took it outside for a wash and a polish. It looks OK but the colour match is well off and pattern parts fit ish lol:

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

And lastly my sticker. Not put one of these on anything since i ran my conversions business lol:

My rear wheels arrived today :)

Image

Image





The fronts are awaiting paint:

Image





Tried the rears on:

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image





Then tried one on the other side to check the SLD clearance:

Image

Image




The door will go this far without touching the wheel:

Image

Image




But fully open will touch, so ill need to notch the SLD a touch:

There will be stretch yeah but I'm looking for arch alternatives. Probably a temp set for now to be legal then a more bespoke set later
