I had two ordinary front guards. I found a donor drivers side guard to cut and shut and with the rare spares rust replacement panel I finally got the guards not to bad.
I'll keep my eye out for better ones over time but these will do for the time being I guess.
Starting to get somewhere now :)

Thanks all.
Hopefully I can find the bits i need to finish it :lol:

The rubbers are just Rare spares ones. I bought a full kit off them (around $1600 by memory)
I found that they fitted ok, just need to get that door adjustment right :)

Yep, the HR is next. I bought it for the disc brake front end but she's far too good not to put back on the road. I'll have some fun with it though, hot motor, big wheels e.t.c
it's got a good 186 in it and auto. Even has headers ;)
$700 for a hr premier wagon with bugger all rust apart from bottom of the front guards made me a happy taswegian ;)
