Hey Rod, Dunno if Ron talked to you bout relays however today I put 75 watt beams and relay in my red car. Night driving is going to be heaps better. Jack
Hi Jack, Sounds good, those 75 watt lights should really make night driving a lot brighter. Have not spoken with Ron about them yet - been a whirlwind couple of days.
We did buy those Nissan Alloys. Brad and Fiona made a quick trip over to Shepparton to pick them up -
They are pretty well new. Came off a 2012 model that supposedly only had about 30klm on them.The new Patrol buyer had different wheels fitted before picking the car up. Tried one to see how they look -
We want to give the undercarriage a thorough clean next week before fitting the Alloys.
Spent the day cleaning the roof of the Patrol. We removed the light bar from the roof and were left with this -
After using a scourer and detergent, claying, wetrubbing with 2000 grit, then a 2stage buff, it ended up looking like this -

Plan is to have Luke tidy up the body early next week, then clean and paint the undercarriage followed by fitting the side steps, some wheel arch flares and the alloys.
Ron`s Mach1 body is going to be sand blasted monday. Luke has already stripped the paint from the bonnet, guards and doors. Found a few minor repairs have been done over the years, but nothing to speak of.
