Well done previper !

All that done you almost ready to do with the horse waht you got it for ...... Have fun

I wonder what did you use to repaint the wiper arms since mines are both messy.

Thought of paint them in chrome since i got few chrome features around the horse.

Good job, my VX looked just like yours when I first got her... except you de-ironman-ed yours

Post some more pics once you're sporting the lift and new wheels

BTW, the G8 is nice too

[previper]

i went with flat/semigloss black, sanded all the rust off first then a coat of primer 4 or 5 coats of semigloss black and a few coats of clear to protect them a little more. the look brand new!

[crotchrocket]

[previper]

Previper, I checked on the freight and I can have mine shipped to Raleigh fairly cheap. When's your next opening ? j/k love your work ethic. Your GF will come to accept the madness, well maybe not accept but tolerate it.

[Marlin]

Bring it to Hallowharrie so we can get it all dirty again!!!!!!!!!!

[previper]

Marlin, once i get it in the air on some bigger tires then i'll be game for takin it out and up some rocks.

Hallowharrie isn't until the end of Oct, plenty of time, but you can bring it either way, there are only a few trails that you couldn't run stock.

[previper]

i should be sittin higher by then, where is it?

[BoarderCROSS2000]

Damn Dude,

I've had mine for a week and all I've done is wipe it down a few times, put new tires on and taken a roadtrip!

Hard to say who's havin more fun, eh?

Check out the thread over at planetisuzu. It is at Uhwarrie National Forest. Not too far from you. I drive up from Charleston,SC and there will be at least 2 other VXs besides mine. Let me know if you have questions. The thread below should explain just about everything.
