Heyup Jack, how is the "armrest" fabric held on?
I'm wanting to raise mine as the arm out of the window season is over.

I'm contemplating making some door pockets which could actually hold something more than a slip of paper..Possibly a beverage of some kind...I'll wager you'd be brave enough to fit some, want me to save some prototypes for you?

Mmmm i like prototypes Keithy pm me some piccy's

More RCPing today done all inside the rear body cavity
i did not realise there was so many places for water to ingress
till all the paint started to run out :ohmy:

Proton savvy centre section modified


Jack

That looks good and very neat, any photos of what it looked like premod, or what you had to do it mod it to fit?

The main reason for using the savvy pipe
Is it has these on each end


I shortened it a little and already had a tight 1D 90degree bend wasn't to much of a job
Not to sure whether i like the exhaust note
it's not stupid loud

Ebay item number 291940019493
I cut the flange off bent long end
Then welded it to the short straight before the box
Other end i cut off see picture
That will be used on my next silencer if i chose to remove the one fitted

Jack

so i opted for a 1" body lift
main reason is for cleaning the under side
not leaving any trapped mud and better air flow round body mounts to dry them

body mounts have minimal rust
but gave them a scrape painted with buzzweld CIO


lifting the front was a bit un nerving (never done this before)

But i must say thanks to Dave bits4vits
as i followed the blog on little red
had to remove more wires and cut ty-wraps
as i went up :blink:
on a plus side it all worked when back together

New old bonnet now on with additional stickers


just need more sunshine so i can continue my quest

Jack

Roof bars fitted


Bumper test fitting

Looking better all the time!

Nice! bumper looks good

No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationYou'll need some of these Jack

Quick question, did you make or buy the roof bars? Also do they make a lot of wind noise?
