cant take anything away from your van grunt but can I go out on a limb and say that a front air dam will even out the intensity of all the black on the grill and headlight surrounds? just a thought. looks farquin sick nonetheless!

came with the van and was new, didnt think it mattered that much since it has the wrong nose cone and guards.Originally Posted by Glacier 73

I looked at that and thought it was a bit heavy being black. I have done the lower tips of the guards in signwriting vinyl, sort of like a wrap. Im happy with the look at this stage but if I do want to do it later I can easily vinyal wrap that as well on black
Same as the GTS guard flutes in black, they could get done at a later date but at this stsage im happy to wait until after the stripes go on

Looking sweet Grunt!! My HX has been edged and is ready for paint any day, also Papaya!
Have you made your choice on which stripes you will be adding??
Gaddy.
He can put chrome taillight surrounds on it too! (If he wants to).

Gee, wait 'til you see what I have planned for mine. HJ twin headlight front, HZ grille, HJ GTS guards, HQ (chrome surround) taillights. It what I like (and already have), so that's what I'm doing.

Good work Gaddy, keep at it.
It came with stripes, the same as factory fitted, yellow / orange / red
This was tucked around the jam of one of the origional doors

so time to do a bit of preventative rust proofing before the interior goes back together
Seems a shame to drill holes in the sill but need to get the rust primer and cavity wax deep into all areas
The products I used
So I pumped all this stuff into the sills, the inside of the doors, the tail gates, bottom of the A pillars and inside the access panels in the back. Used the rust primer first and left it for 2 weeks to dry. All areas were then followed up with the cavity wax.
Found some plastic plugs like the factory ones to cover the holes. These will be covered later with the sill plates so they will be never seen

Yeah, smart move mate..... protect that investment for me so when I win Lotto and offer you so much money you can't say no, I won't have to do it!
Bloody, bloody, bloody good job!
