Finally I've got my car back from the panelbeaters. All dents removed, new bonnet and they even fixed up my rear bar where it split from a nasty gutter incident. While it was away I looked around and found a secondhand 2.5 inch Xforce system and a crash-repaired rear bar to match. Just need to pick up some exhaust mounts and get the rear bar painted and I'll have the conversion almost finished. Now I've just gotta keep my eye out for some secondhand skirts.

More parts!
Firstly, I found some secondhand painted SS skirts for a good price and secondly, I got my insurance payout for my stolen wheels. This is a photoshop attempt of what I'm probably going to get.

Scraping fairly heavily on the drivers side. Getting the guards rolled and rear end raised one step

Sitting much nicer. Needed the extra height for the load carrying and towing.
