been sneaking 20 mins here and there during naptime and getting a few things done.
been doing odd bits of interior wiring, stereo and interior light etc.. rear bar is done, just working on a way to fix it to the arches? back end is easy, im thinking for the sides ill use door card clip thingys.. starting to look like a real car again... on the outside at least
better pics of how much needs to be removed from the bar
The reason I heated and folded my rear bar around the arches (instead of cutting a chunk out of it) was that it gave me a lip that I could use to bolt it on using the old mudflap screw points.
I also used the stock Alto mounting points behind the round black grille inserts. From memory I had to cut off the standard MB license plate lights too.
yeah i used the same points you mentioned on the back, and the plate light vanished years ago. hadnt thought of the mudguard holes. will see if i can get a tab to it maybe?
If you want to bring the ute up here then I can't recommend anyone better than John Wilson from AKZ Engineering. He did my certification and it was simple.
