Looking good Paul, 2 things, first is the reason why I stick to 4BO !
Second , how on earth you can work with something so complex, think It would beat me .
All the best for Christmas to you and the good lady . Hopefully we might be able to meet up again in a couple of years time at Peterborough.

Looking well Paul.

Many thanks Greg, glad you approve.

Not a lot of bench time. Built the front winch and bumper again a lot of parts when fewer would have achieved the same. Added bolt and rivet details.



Removed the moulded on tie downs and replaced them with copper wire versions.



cheers

Scottie, the tie downs are the stuff I normally have no patience to do yet you guys do it like it's a matter of fact. :smiling6: That really amazes me. Very nice front end with all the nuts & bolts added.

Cheers,
Richard

Can’t speak for Paul, but I find them very tiring/trying to add. However, once you do one, you kind of have to keep going with at least the visible ones, IMHO …

Richard, I'm surprised I have the patience to do them but they are worth doing. Normally the etch ones are to flat and nearly impossible to make them stay on.

Great work so far Paul.

Thanks Ian.

Jakko, they are tiring but I think they are worth it in the end the hard thing is trying to keep them the same size.

Some more added to the chassis. the front axle has been fitted and some linkages that should have been fitted in earlier stages. All the parts were sprayed black and then a light coat of OD just to make it easier later on.





The end of the exhaust was drilled out and a clamp added.

Agreed on all of those points Though usually I’m satisfied with the kit-supplied version, sometimes you don’t have a real choice but to replace a lot or all.

Andy, very kind of you ta.

Agreed on all of those points :smiling3: Though usually I’m satisfied with the kit-supplied version, sometimes you don’t have a real choice but to replace a lot or all.

The kit ones can look ok but another reason I like to replace then where possible is I do use them to tie things down by passing the strap/rope through them.

Outstanding work Paul. Keep up the great work my friend
