Bennie . Nah LOL. Those are the original guards and bonnet from red Brum. They were that bad with dints I diden't bother trying to repair them. Just put them on the BBB (Bush Bashin Brumby). The guards and Bonnet from BBB that I removed were pretty straight and are sitting in a safe place.
The painted guards and Bonnett are on my Red Brum just waiting to take BBB out to the farm tomorrow before it runs out of rego, so it is out of the way, then will do some fininsh fitting of the painted guards, polish the bull bar and red Brum is back on the road hopefully tuesday.

BOOsting just be carefull letting the back wheel of a MXer rest on the tail gate as the weight will F the tailgate beyond repair.

Why aren't my pictures showing ?

Got me stumped mate! I can use the address that you've got in the coding to see the image, but it doesn't want to show up in the post you've shown - and the coding you've used looks like it's as it should be...

The way I got it here was to view the image, right click (command click for those awesome mac users

) and copy the image address, then drop that in the coding you've been using

Cheers

thanks mate, will be careful. at this stage i'm thinking roof racks, found 2 companies that make them brand new. and that way I can still load the bike up easily.

pedders are munroes i belive

trivia: we built a car for commodore cup class i think, regs said springs and shocks to be Pedders brand (they were sponsoring the class so this was a way of making money, you ask for the class spec'd gear and the price went up 3 times of what the parts cost)
bought a set of kings springs and painted them red, and a set of modified kings with the stickers cleaned off and replaced by with pedders stickers

mean while, today i didnt do anything cause i have no money or time

Yeah this has me baffled too.

Im assuming the "6" is a typo.

I meanwhile installed Whiteline front and rear swaybar mount 'D' bushes and front swaybar link bushes.

a turbo XT6 would be interesting indeed, so too if it had five stud wheels !!
