And Voila

Post by dstocks »

Thought idpost up a repair thread. I bought Hero's blue GP. Itoriginally looked like this:

viewtopic.php?f=4&t=29628

It had a bit of a smack in the front:

Took the bar, A/C Condensor, radiator and headlight out. Radiator support and the bit around the top of the passengers side headlight was pretty badly damaged (unfortunately didnt take pics).

Did a bit of panel beating by Triton then. I put a radiator support on backwards and tied a chain between that and the triton towbar and drove forward at a bit of a clip until it tightened. Bit more fiddling and here is the result (bar isnt bolted up properly).

Wont be leaving the current bonnet, headlights or bumper, but if shows how well it has come up.Has taken most of the day and still have to do a bit of work on the passengers guard, but getting close.
