Great work!

Did you already have shoulder belt mounts in the C pillars?

Yes but they weren't inertia reels, just adjustable lap sash belts

ticked a thing off my list.. bj73 front seat belts and body mounts installed for the 2nd row so they get 3point retractable inertia reels

Using factory bj73 plates

And a dent removed and patched:

Slick!

Onto the next item on the list.. replacement rear LED combo lights..

So I've watched this video a few times now and though it'd give it a go..



Got it all tacked in..

And welded out. I had to come in last night before i got it all cleaned up. It's far from perfect but its not bad.

But for a noob like me its not as easy as it is made out in the video.. and I'm yet to see what access I have to pull out and clean up the inside of the panel

For the other side I'm almost tempted to cut both the outer and inner completely first.. remove the outer to cleanup inside, then weld it in.

Next item after the rear lights is this bit.

its going to be fun but after watching this video Im thinking of forming it in two pieces..

 

[brisveganbj42]

Rear lights done

This might work after all....

In other news I ordered and paid for 2pack primer, and paints.... eeekkkk!

Exciting-what colour?

 

[Megadoomer]

I have watched a lot of Fitzy's videos. Lots of inspiration there.

 

[brisveganbj42]

Exciting-what colour?

Two tone: rustic green 621 and cygnus white 012

 

[sneaky]

There's a 40 getting round up here in that colour, looks good.

Wifes color choice.. the green kinda suits the name "Frank N. Swine"

 

[RUSH55]

That’s a great name!
