looks amazing dude well done!

also I think those centre allen bolts have red Loctite on them, some heat and they'll be a lot easier

Great photos! Thanks for taking the time and effort to document the processes in depth - after all, I (and many others on here) appreciate a good visual build story especially one that pays such attention to detail. Keep it up!

Couldn't see much sign of loctite, i'll give heat a go anyway

Been meaning to replace the chrome lockstrips for too long. Finally got around to it, was an easier job than i expected.

Original strips looked like leopard print.







Fresh chrome strips on the rear.









Fronts turn.









Bin for these!



Liking it even more now with the chrome handles and chrome trims. Chrome mirrors hmmm.

Thanks mate! A friend of mine did it on his milling machine, said it was a super easy job but he is a fitter and machinest. If it wasn't for the paint missing it looks factory.
