Had a little try of the prototype bumper with the new wheels / spacers and wings looks like it should go together as planned

The Patrolman · 18-04-2015, 16:46

Ok And one from the side as I cut a bit more of the arches too

elty001 · 18-04-2015, 18:09

liking the look you are aiming for

No narrow lanes when it's done

The Patrolman · 18-04-2015, 18:47

They won't be narrow after i've been down them

The Patrolman · 18-04-2015, 19:05

Both fronts on now

The Patrolman · 18-04-2015, 23:50

I'm thinking of removing the roof rack for a while just to get he extra wide look

Just the axle rebuild then we should be some where near done

Till the body lift

You will be suffering from vertigo with the body lift

just done a side4 by side ( well top to bottom ) photo shop

can't believe these are the same tyres

I do prefere the genuine Nissan rims but Hey Ho!!

This is one awesome project you have mate. Looks brilliant and love how you modded the front wings

The Patrolman · 20-04-2015, 22:07

Thanks Bud!

just got a bit of patching around the lower sill areas to make it water tight then a few more spots of welding on the rears as they are not as good as the fronts, a skim of filler around the joints an possibly a bit of paint. Not too sure on the colour yet.

i need to replace the plastic arch protectors with something as the originals do not fit any more. The new arches are St/St so I don't need to worry about gravel rash feeding the tin worm too soon.

Quite pleased so far

Nice work again here

You can't beat a big wheeled Trol

I can't wait to get back on mine but the Black Pearl must be finished first .
Keep up the good work

Sweety · 20-04-2015, 22:21

The new arches look great

I've always liked the 17's you have on the Trol now as they are a nice classic 5 spoke. As for the arch protectors could you not use some of the edging stuff that door seals are made from (forgot the correct name of it

)

The Patrolman · 20-04-2015, 22:30

Sorry, i have some trim stuff lined up for the outer arches. but what I need is to stop all the carp clogging up inside the rear of the front arches if I cut everything back level it will be easier

elty001 · 20-04-2015, 22:58

How about some heavy duty rubber sheet

Not too expensive and easily cut to shape.
Didn't realise how much of the front wing you had cut away until I saw your pics

Looking awesome by the way.

The Patrolman · 02-05-2015, 15:27

A bit of a rub down and some paint
