just had the bumper bar off and my car and having a look u will have to build like a tow bar reinforcement behind the metal skin for the rear bumper and the only decent mounting points will be the towbar brackets and dropping bolts along the top of the bumper where ya normal 1s are just to keep it tidy
i have studyed the pic of the rear bumper and dont like the way it sits flt against the body on the sides would be fine for nt but wouldnt look right on the wt sierra cause of the gaurds etc so would be better if it was made to flush up to ya stock flares
i have a few pics quickly setched but i will do a final copy of the componants like the rear su[port behind the bumper the skin etc

Ok, while we're all putting requests in, I'm just looking for something nice and simple...
Kinda like this but without the hoop on top...
Who can do that for me??

Would be easy except.... I've never welded anything in my life, and I don't have a welder...
Other than that, no dramas...

Hey Pete,
this is the back of the SV420, all that steel on the back is part of the chassis & cant easily be removed!

Thanks mate.
BTW, thats FUCKEN UGLY!!!!!
I'd need a close look at one to see where to start the mounts, but anything is possible. If there is a brisbanite with one I may be able to get something happening....

653 U.S. dollars = 736.023445 Australian dollars
that is actually fairly good value. no one who is any good will charge less then
$80 per hour and i reckon there would have to be a days work at least in it.
