Looks like a home made oval window, lol.
I'm just up near Hornsby. Hope to see this on the road around the joint soon. Lookin good.

Looks awesome so far
Have you talked to your engineer they seem to get the s***s with extended beams even though yours looks bombproof?
If you do get yours certified there will be plenty of buyers on here.
You are the guys that build sick rock crawlers, maybe you are your own engineer?

Good luck with it....he may want you to change the fuel tank as well馃槈
If he signs it off you need to start a mini production line and sell each one with an endorsed certificate, 'cos all the imported ones seem to cause guys over here grief.

Lol fuel tanks are in the back ..
Might have to do a forum special what dramas are they having with the imported ones

I think the engineers make them get their extenders x-rayed to check for cracks/imperfections etc, ends up very exy$$
A bit ott; just eyeballing yours you know it aint going to break!

Thats no drama I have had to do that with heaps of other parts we have made .. More than happy to get the testing done and sell them with a certificate If there is a demand for them..

Looks excellent. Hope to see this getting around soon as I live in the Hornsby area.
But is there enough air flow to cool the engine?
