    I just don't want replica's flying around, that would be my only concern mate...

    Living in the south of Ireland fella...

    Dogs are awesome, not allowed get a great dane until a buy a place :(

    Be careful dude, it flies off in seconds, go very slow and gently with like a 120 grade, you can use evo stick or the likes to hold it to the panel...

    Thanks Sparky, how goes your own build ?

    Welcome to the madness :)

    Now to make the front look the same...

    She is chunky alright...

    Thanks mate...

    Cheers fella... (Like your sig btw)

    Me too so I can put it in a corner and ignore it for a while :)

    So I decided to make a start on the front bumper, as per usual I had to make room, got my priorities right though, saved the axle stand for the king size Toblerone :)

    I did however use them for the front :
    [​IMG]

    I had some temporary brackets already pop riveted on to give an idea of the task ahead :
    [​IMG]

    However the heights just were not right so I had to cut and space it at the side, again I got out the green oasis foam for some general shaping and starting to get a top coat of fibreglass on the front to hold the shape, the reinforcement will happen at the back but if you look at the bottom of the bumper the line now looks level and proper... Still have to roll my front wings, its never ends...
