speaking of bigger, i thought this hilux scoop would look ok.. but i think it looks too small for the size of the bonnet

ok so not much has been happening cos im a slacka$$,
how ever, since my last post i have
- purchased a set of front guards and rear doors (including flairs) to replace damaged panels on Bob.
- modded and mounted the rear section of flair to suit my body chop.
- stripped the car completely, pulled doors off, door glass out, mechs, locks and latches all gone
-pulled the side steps off
and i got my glass guy to come around today and pull the windscreen and liftgate windows out
he then took it all home so i dont have to worry about storing or breaking them! WIN!!

so she (yes its a she named Bob) ready for the paint shop, for real this time.
gotta get a few more quotes, then onto a trailer and off to get her make up done

my glass guy is also going to tint my windows for me, so i cant really complain

will try to get some photos of the modded flairs up soon

all i have to do know is make the lower rear section attach to my bar some how
(this will all make sense when the pix come)

 

[pyrotech]

so i took bob around to a few paint and panel shops last week, and it looks as like im looking at about 8K for all the body work and a full respray
more then i wanted to spend, so it looks like il be paying the bank a visit during the week

Excellent write up mate, good to see another Aussie on board with a 60

 

[maat]

love this s***. keep the pics coming mate!

edit: sorry to hear about the quotes. If I were talented in the art of body work I would get this thing looking great for SFA because it deserves it!

thanks maat, yea i wish i had the know how too oh well


Bob is off at the body shop now, he'll be gone for a few weeks, but il post up some more when he returns,
in the mean time, i will be cleaning up all the interior door cards, seats, etc
getting a few accessories ready go bolt straight on

il try to get some progress pics while hes down there

 

[pyrotech]

picked up my donor bonnet today going to see how a V8 78/79 series bonnet scoop looks grafted onto my 60 bonnet

 

[TLC Norway]

I'm eager to see the result!

Sent from my GT-I9505 using IH8MUD Forum mobile app

 

[pyrotech]

keep an eye open, il be trying to get some progress pix when ever i go past the paint shop

 

[pyrotech]

dropped into the paint shop today to check on the progress, met the panel beater working on my junk, turns out he is a fellow 60 nut, he has one at home that he has just finished cutting the rust out of the roof, and is absolutely in love with my cruiser, so i feel Bob is in safe hands and i gotta say, I'm pretty happy with the work so far, took a couple of shots to keep you all up to date.

passenger side




roof
i was very impressed with how straight he has got the roof without any bog so far



drivers side work yet to be started


i have asked the panel beater to take progress shots for me, but i will try to get there before the week is out to get another update, the guy is keen for a wheel when bobs done, I'm hoping i can get any other body work i need down the track, done on the side, could be a good contact to have

 

[pyrotech]

ok, well for those of you still interested, the paint shop guy screwed me over, no work done on it for 4 months, i have picked the car up and its now at another place, and I'm am stuck trying to get my money back for works not carried out at the first place
