Decals on and grill painted, 1st coat on window rubber.  Some of the clear carrier on the blue stripe has 'lifted' but I think I can fix it.  Need to paint the interior and BMF behind the headlights so the lower section can go on then the cab. Have to scratchbuild the bullbar for it but the the other stuff on first so I can check fit as I go. |

Progress on this has been real slow but it is coming together.   For a home conversion to right hand drive, I'm pretty happy with how the interior turned out' It has a few issues but most are hidden in the cab.   With the cab on I can start to fit the air cleaner and exhaust etc. The headlight panel goes on below the cab and doesn't tilt but should just slip up under the front edge of the grill but I think my grill repair has used up the space for it oh_jeez-1018_zpskf8ctjic |

Cheers gents. Once the headlight panel is in I can start the scratch build on the bullbar. Battery box sits behind the cab between aircleaner and exhaust, once they're on that is!

So it's down to the bullbar, sunvisor and stoneguard. Can't find mesh close enough for the stoneguard so it may have to wait. Have the bumper section of the bullbar done.   |

With the right back ground would swear it was the real thing. Looking forward to seeing this one complete

What size of mesh are you looking for mate?

What size of mesh are you looking for mate? It works out that there are about 7 'uprights' in 5mm. Hopefully the picture is more useful.  |

Have finished scratchbuilding the bullbar and the mounting plate. Just need to get the mounting plate on the chassis so I can make the tilting mechanism - or just use spacers to get the bar the right distance from the cab.  |

If not kitformservices have a range of pe mesh but it might be from auslowe. I have a few of KFS's sheets but nothing is quite right. Auslowe didn't have one to suit but may sell me the material - I'll ask. |
