Here are some pics I took back in July. I have since got some 5.5 x 15 wheels for the rear which gives it a bit better look. It is also off the road and being pulled apart for the respray and transplant onto a BJ/IRS pan.

Thanks mate for the pics. This is the one I have ordered.
Did you have to cut out more around the hole in the body it goes through?

C'mon kids gather round,
there's a new sensation hitting town,
It's moving straight, low to the ground,
it'll pick you up when your feeling down.

Yeah mate, but not much.

You can see in the pics that the "factory" hole to access the shock absorber bolt has been enlarged. Just make it bigger with a cutting disc or air-operated hacksaw etc.
