Looks like there is some work ahead of you,, might be hard to match the flared front to a front bar..
-JA Starion with JD bits , Forged engine, Heaps of mods (parked up)
-BFII XR6 Turbo Ute , Here comes 400hp for 2k :p
-77 Mazda 323 drag car. 13bt rotary project.
Yes i have too many toys.

I'm 99% sure a narrowbody front bar fits fine. Finding a late model front bar in NZ will be the hard part!

Yeah got it from auckland. did a mission drive with a trailor to auckland and back yesterday. throw in some towing vehical problems and was a long, fun day. :roll:
Will be a bit difficult matching a front to the flared kit but where theres a will theres a way.
And no apparent chassis damage.

Looks like a good project. And those wheels are even better! Are the rear widey panels fibreglass or welded in?

The rear gaurds appear to be fibreglass. but will look further into the matter.
And yeah i'm loving the wheels. going to look good when i clean them up and give them a bit of a polish.

US speedo's have MPH and KPH from memory. They sell the aftermarket ones for their cars like that too.
