As you are all probably aware ive got the Subaru Brat thats in the Area52 thread.........well ive been meaning to do this next modification for some time & over the last 2 nights I got my butt in gear & got it done!!
Basically I wanted some sort of chrome nudge bar on the truck but I couldnt find an original so I had to look & see what I could find that would fit..
This is what I found,its originally from a Toyota Surf....
Then I removed the centre bar,2 reasons;1 it was rusty & 2 I didnt want the word Toyota on my Subaru!!
Now the tricky bit started,it wouldnt fit at all so I cut off the original mounts & fabricated some new ones that allowed me to attach it to the underside of the bumper irons.
Once these were welded in place I trial fitted it & then made some minor adjustments so it sat correctly.
Finally I added some retro 8" Cibie Oscar+'s I traded for the huge spotlights that the truck came with.
Heres the finished bar fitted,just got to wire up the spots & do a final fit n finish tomorrow in the light!
I'm pleased with it so far & I think its an improvement on the look of my little truck!
Tim.... ;D
Heres one I took today in the daylight......
And finally a before & after shot....
Before with the old spot lights....
After with the nudge bar & Cibie Oscar +'s......
