25-04-13, 17:48 GMT+10#12 not much has happend.but i finally got it home from my in laws.
after ringing around for quotes for polishing the walkys i decided to leave the centers the way they are and polish the lip instead.i think i have made the correct decision.
i still have to convert rear end to disk brakes to fit rear walkys then drop it in for a r/w
