matty looks like progress is happening on that wagon.. keep it up.

Question... those strips are actually moulds or are they stick on moulds (ie the gaurd protector strips).

Anyhow, leave em on, but if they are the stick on stuff, get some more and remake them, they are a unique idea, and suit the beast.
Also i personally dont mind the devil rod style side trim. These minor changes will make the car stand out.

Good luck.

Hey matty i remember that stuff was pretty common to get before, try supercheap, it may come in a roll. But if thy dont have it, theres a place at girraween, called VG AUTO PAINTS. Amax ave. They also sell it by the meter, and in different thinkness.

Anyhow, good luck and hope to see ya crusing again soon.

as for spats...don't forget our mate at Smooth Customs, my old wagon had a pair of Cruising Skirts (see photo) and they are very easy to install.

I liked 'em on the wagon because they allow wider tyres that stock.
