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

elty001 · 18-04-2015, 23:56

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.

A bit of a rub down and some paint
