"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

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