Great news Colin, but when is a car ever finished? I'm sure once you have your current plans finished, you will come up with something else to do. I know that's what happens to me lol.

You think you might make the Albury cruise?

Very cool, that's what i like to read about! I've got all my 15's on now, so next job is working out brackets to fit my cervo front bar.

I'd love to see some pics......

The trickiest part is hacking and folding the front guards.

I figured it wouldn't be easy, but it doesn't look as hard as the quarter panel repairs i've done on my torry.

I don't suppose you have any detailed pics taken while you were working on yours do you Brayden?

hey Jay,

I am waiting for the engineer to certify my engine conversion and then I will be doing the Cervo bar conversion: Learn with yours, and help me with mine.....

Mon Jan 04, 2010 2:17 pm

Geez with all these copycats I'm glad I changed mine!

lolz. Bar copycat maybe. Otherwise there is many differences in our car's to yours!

My build idea's for some area's will also differ, but some things like the EFI & turbo will be similar.

I might have to do a write up on the guard mods, looks like any of the sports type front bars will require the same guard mods to fit........

Cheers

I was always thinking about doing a bar off the 72v series altos but you beat me to the punch brayden...

While the cervo bar looks good, the alto unit looks better

Mon Jan 04, 2010 4:41 pm

The 72V Works front bar was always my first choice going back to when I saw my first Works in the late 90's, but going back a few years any front bar was difficult to find so I took what I could get.

When JV put up the matching 72V front/rear bars last year I wasn't going to let them slip! Surprisingly they're not a very neat fit though, the rear bar took a lot of reshaping, and the front bar is about 10mm too wide on each side. I'll flare the front arches to suit eventually - maybe for the next respray.
