Well today's efforts haven't been quite as fruitful as I had hoped.
My new winch bumper arrived yesterday to much excitement, so today was "working from home" so that I could crack out the toolbox and get fitting.
Now as mine's a v8 I know that to fit a standard winch bumper the oil cooler will have to be relocated. "No drama" I thought, as I haven't got the winch itself yet so i can worry about that later... opps..
currently the bumper is on, and the oil cooler mounting bolts taken out so that it can be lifted slightly to make room for the new metal work. Obviously this isn't a permanent solution though. Anyone else got experience of this mod, and able to offer any advice?
Pic of new bumper will follow soon, once i've washed all the salt etc off the bodywork and made her look more presentable
The other job of the day was fitting the new wheels/tyres. Unfortunately the difference in offset means that to fit I would need flexi arches - the tyres came out past the lip of the arch! Back to the drawing board...
