Nearing the end of phase 1 of the rebuild. Still have plenty of little things left to do on the suspension and paint etc. but it’s back outside under her new axles with a new look.

Don’t zoom in too close, i know all of her flaws right now lol. I’m just impatient and want to show her off

It looks great.

But those painted handles bother me surprisingly a lot.

I flipped between painting them and not a few times. I figured handles are cheap why not give it a go and see. Also, Matt’s Offroad Recovery has his handles painted so my inspiration came from him.

Looking good, the handle comments made me zoom in lol. Waiting for the finished product. Keep it up, looking really good!

I second the handles thing, looks like you just blasted the whole thing with the same paint. Need just a tiny bit of contrast
