Look For in Adelaide

So if i don't fill in the indented bits on the rear or shorten the bar it will look like something that cyclists will get caught up in..?

Already got colour on all inside edges, its Jamacia Lime. Looks Freakin sweet. Firewall and chassis is done as well, this week is the wishbones and suspension. I get some photos tomorrow.

The tunnel and chassis is done now, thats a photo from last week.

nah its not that bad.... when i was silly and thought rear bars were cool

i test fitted mine a couple times, it wasnt too bad.

No nuts on the Bumperette Bolts, just the 4 bolts screwed from the inside out.

It's all personal taste I know, and I agree that the HQ van rear bar suits the best. Sorry Jason, definitely not a fan of the later bar with rubber strips! But that is just me.

ive got a wagon bar too, HQ from memory. was ages ago it went on there. fits well and never had any issues with tailgate. i also like the look

think it balances the whole car more than the bumperettes do. (proportionally they look a bit small) haha. thats the beauty of the pano's, they r as individual as their owners

all the bars are the same length and will interchange..hq thru to wb statesman..brackets are different..
hq wagon is smooth,hq sedan has tailights on it,hj sedan and wagon have indentations to take the rubber strip and if it has the strip it also has holes..wb stataesman looks exactly like the hj to z bars but takes a wider strip and 1 hole that attaches the rubber is square...BUT THEY ALL INTERCHANGE...
if you want them to look right, as in tuck in to the body you will need to narrow the bar by up to 2 inches..

mine has a full length bar that has been shortened, cut and welded each side of the number plate bracket, where the black vertical tape strip is.. I was going to change it back to bumperettes but not fussed either way...

I reckon they look OK on dark coloured cars but just get lost in lighter coloured cars. Something to do with contrasting colours I think.
