Since my bus came with later bumpers and pressed units are so hard to find and exy to buy, we are sticking with the later style
Image

Front and rear bumpers were fitted to check alignment etc
Image

I have decided to run the US spec over-riders front and rear, just for something different
Image

Front is just sitting in place for now (holes to be drilled soon then bumpers will be straightened)

haha i thought galahs were peach?


Here are some piccys with the us-spec bumpers mounted 8)

After lots of careful measurements and double checking, the mounting holes for the front over riders were drilled

Image

Likewise for the rear end
Image

As the bus didn't come with a rear apron, a later model one will be used - exhaust cut out will be filled
