Figure that these bumper filling rubbers aren't available in the original style and also thinking that it isn't really a visible rubber so to cut down on the rust and damage on it as a non visible piece I am getting rid of it and will figure a after market rubber at a later date

Maco on the FE FC site has these rubbers for fe FC sedan and wagon. I purchased a pair for my van recently. They will fit your ute. About $50 with postage from memory and a quality product. You're right though, there not visible and only necessary when driving wet or dirty conditions.

Finally got the rest of the panel in primer the 40mm drop on the wheel arch isn't that noticeable so I am happy. Be good to see the finished results on how it looks with wheels on the ground

I reckon those rear guards look sweet Toey 8)
When you're faced with an unpleasant task that you really don't want to do, sometimes you just have to dig deep down inside and somehow find the patience to wait for someone else to do it for you.

Steel and rust cut and replaced so far and I am sure it's not all there

Hey Toey love your updates and how much work you are getting done I've been slack and need to pick up my game I suppose.

It is funny how our cars come to us mine was almost the same as yours with bits in the back but I think yours may have been in a bit better nick mate

Keep the updates coming I really enjoy your updates mate.

Not really mine looked ok on the outside but both rear rails were shot and still a work in progress seems all the rust is hidden and once I find a small bit it opens up a can of worms
