hey guys
as some of you know, i bought a front bar off ebay and posted it up to say how good it was.

well i got some more bragging to do as today i got it back from my panel beater who during the week sprayed it up for me and i brought it home to fit. looks awesome!!
some may remember from my previous post, that the bar had a small amount of gap between the headlight and bar. something common i was told in after market bars. i was gonna use a packer to remove the gap, but after some deliberation i tried a different approach. i ended up turning the 2 round holes in the reo (ones that hold it to chassis) into oval holes and opened the forked gap at the back of the mount up. this allowed me to pitch the reo up higher than standard and thus close the gap so much that a packer was not needed. just bolt her up and drive away. check it out.
please ignore the hair dryer in the photos, i was using some sealant from work to bond bolts onto the back of the gtr grille copy so i could mount it. also the icy pole sticks are there to provide support to the grill and hold in position while the hair dryer was drying.
like ive said before, if any1 ever gets an after market bar and needs a hand to fit it up before they spray it, pm me and im more than glad to give u a hand. (melb only, lol)
hope you guys think it looks good.
