"OUTBACK"

8 INCH NARROWED,AIR SHOCKS ALL ROUND,FLOORPAN RAISE,NOTCHED AND EXTENDED SPRING PLATES,3 SPLINE DROP,MODIFIED HEADLAMP BOWLS








body off







blasted pan and the 8 inch beam i made and i blasted all the parts



pan halfs rotten and cut out ready for the raise





new section made up










frame head lip was ground down and seam welded





stone chipped



2k painted





because the rear was lowered 3 splines i wanted to be able to kick the wheels back and correct the rear tracking so notched them and extended them to correct tracking



engine was a 3000miles recon but the push rod tubes were bent so i pulled the heads and replaced them













everything was replaced,all new parts and drums skimmed









some of the body



wing needed alot of loving to get the skirts to fit

























under of body was cleaned couple bits of small welding and then waxoiled.

headlamp bowls needed alot of modding









inside had no carpets so got a new carpet set and stamped a few dirty marks on them to blend them in lol,fitted dash trim that was missing and drivers seat is getting repadded as it was horrible to sit on

Nice job Andy, my new screen saver as of late!

what size tire are you running in the rear? I want a set of skirts myself, but i want to go with the biggest tire i can!

rear tyres are 195/65/15 but you have to trim the inside lip of the skirt to fit them
