Nothing special done but I managed to fit the left guard inner this eve, which will protect the vacuum ball. I had a look at the sill panel and I want to paint it and the bottom of the guard. I may or may not get it done over the weekend.
I may need to make a trip to the wreckers or I need to go to the bloke on FB who has a few old Commodores on my way home, but he is a long way whereas the self serve is 10mins up the road. I just need four screws, one bumper-inner guard screw and three mudflap screws, as I want to try and keep what I can original Commodore or decent replica parts on the old ute. Call me anal but original screws or those that look original just seem better to me than something from Bunnings. Plus I like to have matching screws on both sides if there is a left and right side part.
So right now I only have one front mudflap fitted, which should annoy me enough to make me go to the wreckers. I searched in my spares from the wagon but I couldn't find the screws I needed. However, what I did find was two black speed nuts and two black screws, so I can fit the other grill now.
One thing I keep looking at is the bonnet and how it could look a ton better if I painted it. I have more than enough 2k and gear to do the job but I'd like to ask the wife's step dad again for help with getting it done to a standard I'd be happy with. Once I get that done, then I only have the right sill panel and tailgate to pretty up. Trouble is I need a paintless dent bloke to work his magic before I blow it over. But like I said local bloke is not interested and the only other person in Tasmania that does it is over three hours away, in Hobart.
