just some dulux nuts from mitre 10. will do for now til i get a garage & can paint it properly. needs another 2 coats at least. got the rear suspension/diff sorted finally after much Barry Whiteing around. jammed on those gabriels i got from u ages ago Tom + some cobra springs which needed much cutting to get low enough & the obligatory adjustable panhard rod. got a quote today for a complete 2" exhaust from woolf mufflers mt eden @ $400.00. 5 mins from the house so nice & handy!

That paint looks so cool with the steel coming through from underneath. It would be awesome to leave it in the weather like that and let the surface rust start to come through. But nah, thats a dumb idea.

Standard gem mounts man, some have the round ones with a single stud through the middle, then there are those square ones which have 2 bolts.

Standard gem mounts man, some have the round ones with a single stud through the middle, then there are those square ones which have 2 bolts. And they are on backwards. Loop bit should be up by the wheel arch and there are some little retaining clamps that bolt on top in case a mount breaks. Those ones are on TF-G Gems. I have these ones in my Chevini now.
