Noticed the read main seal leaping the other week so had to pull the engine and sort of got side tracked

While the engine was out thought I would make some log headers

Lost a day

Then back. Into it

Put the oldest boy to work with the bunnings dynamat

Also have to pull the rear screen and cure some cancer who knows maybe a roof boot colour change as well

Thanks for the comments
There was normal insulation under the carpet but still to much noise inside the cabin for the wife
Will be a month or so before the fk hits the streets again so I will let u know if the bunnings dynamat does the job
Question when I cut the sub frame for log header clearance I welded in 2mm sheet metal do u guys reckon this will do the job as I would hate to hit a bump and turn the old girl into a banana

Searsy,
If you weld the inner guards back then that should be strong enough. Have you got strengthening plates under the bottom rails ?
Regards Greg
