Lexurf IV.

[BUSHWHACKER]

If your'e sitting comfortably Vince then i'll begin.
my 2.4 has a hole in each rear quarter (big enough to get your fist in) so i got a set of grey ones off stormy.
The two rear quarters and the front bumper are halfway thru being filled/painted
(the centre section rich sent is fecked as most of the captive bolts are broken or badly bent)
When the painting is finished they will go on so i can sell her.
The chrome front bumper will go on the 3ltr, so Gra can take the winch bumper for lexy.
Up until recently there was no mention of rear bumper being needed for lexy so i dont know what's happening in that regard!

Ah right..........




























Graham's answer sounds better.

I presume that your bumper is a steel one vince?
I have to obtain a rear bumper, thf same as yours...which is where the confusion set in.

[BUSHWHACKER]

Yeah, it's the grey steel version.(although it's now satin black)
I'll use it for the MOT as it has two foglights cut into it, your truck hasn't got one, but the wiring/switch is there for it.

[BUSHWHACKER]

Hope you like the look of your new engine.
I've just placed them all together for the photos, so there are a couple of pieces missing and/or not connected, but you can see the look I've gone for anyway.
It looks much better in the 'flesh' it's similar to blue and red anodizing, the camera makes it look too bright and not translucent.

Is that just blue paint Vince? Looks bl00dy good if it is!

I got mine from Hobbycraft. (solvent based) 50ml jar was just enough to do the three parts in the photos.

Sprayed lightly over this...

Thanks. Just wait 'till she sees the rest of the truck, you'd better hide the key!
