Next up was getting the core to fit and making beakers. Thanks to Dad doing this part.*
A before photo
We spent a bit of time looking things over to decide ow to get the core to fit as far back as possible. We winter to do this to reduce the amount that needs to be trimmed from the bumper bar, bumper and hopefully allow re fitting of the fog lights.*
Marked up ready for cutting
After cutting. My Dad used a thin wheel in the grinder.*
The top of the core fitted nice and close the the air con vad. But the bottom could get closer. So a little more trimming was needed.*
All marked up.*
Then painted the bear metal
It fits nice and close now. About as far back as the core could go.*
Next up was making so beakers for the bottom of the core. Dad used 6 mm aluminium bar.*
Then it was the top brackets.*
