Cheers guys, thanks for the comments!

LOL rch-13z, I wasnt going to do much to it, then reading yours and FAT.36L's, and all the other guys 'My Ride' threads on here got me keen again..

It could be a while before it gets done, if the weather keeps up, arrrgghh...

I'll get some pics up for you FAT.36L tomorrow, I just used the bar that went to the door handle - where it goes into the lock, and extended it with a bit of round bar, pretty much straight, just where the stock one had a bend, kinda hard to explain, but will get the pics to show you, I need to pull it out to paint it gloss black anyway, its satin atm, but looks crap with bog dust all over it - sort of like a chalk board? lol

Probly just keep the manual 'poppers' for the moment = lack of funds, lol, but will look into the electronic ones,



What does every one reckon, get rid of the lower strip? where the door molds go/used to go?? fill them in??

Heres a couple of pics for you FAT.36L,

They're a bit suss, but you can sorta see whats going on,

The hole through the rear quater window support, drilled from the top with the glass still in place - very slowly and carefully!! where the weld is it sort of bends away from the camera, for about two inches or so,

You can sort of see the bend there, I put a cable tie on the end of the stock piece - to stop it from pulling upwards and falling down inside the door, it could be a pain when the door trims back on... lol,

She's coming along nicely. It's always good to have some know how rather than taking it to a shop each time and forking over an arm and a leg.

Yepp for sure hey, a while ago I rang up a shop, that specialises in these sort of mods, and they wanted like 500-700 bucks, unpainted, lol, this didnt cost me anything so far, just need to look into the paint side of things...

Finally got the flutes. I think the police may consider your car to be unroadworthy without a guard. Pull an all nighter over a w/e and should be all good :thumbsup:
