Shorty Phil Posted May 15, 2010 Author Share Posted May 15, 2010 Ok here is a few pics of todays progress ....one nice clean carpet thanks to mel One of my front seats nice and clean thanks to mel My bumper cut out and front lip cut to fit my FMIC behind A pic og my front bumper offered up but without the spliter onA pic of my fmic fitted it does have 2 supporting tie raps as only one mount was a direct fit so need to make 2 new bracketsI have also finished smoothing the roker cover ready to be painted but i dont have any pics of this Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shorty Phil Posted May 15, 2010 Author Share Posted May 15, 2010 the black lines on the bumper is from a marker used to mark out where we was cutting etc The bumper and lip need a final edge smoothing then fit the spliter on as a permanent fixture and smooth it a lil Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SiCaln Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 awesome effort on the rocker mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jeroen W. Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 the rocker cover looks nice mate How did you sand it ? with the hand or machanical ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shorty Phil Posted May 17, 2010 Author Share Posted May 17, 2010 I did most with a Orbital sander mate then finished a few bits by hand I used 80grit to take out the lines then i used 500 i think it was just to neater it up and make it smooth Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shorty Phil Posted May 17, 2010 Author Share Posted May 17, 2010 Thanks SiCain its a shame that the HT leads use the raised part of the roker to seal and stop water getting into the plugs etc as i would have liked to have smoothed everything so its all smooth Quote Link to post Share on other sites
