I thought what new plates would suit the old wizard and thought these would look good on it.
I'm going to be putting it up on the blocks this weekend for a bit more work on it fix the oil leak from the sump gasket and new snorkel bulbar winch and reset the torsion bars to lift the front a bit to take the extra weight.
And install the 120 amp alternator and dual batteries in it so I can go out for a trip somewhere after school holidays are finished haven't decided where I will go to yet.

Done a ball joint flip today but still have it up on the stands until I finish a few more things on it at the moment put new glow plugs in as well waiting for a couple of things to get delivered as well so just fixing leaking oil pipe and rocker cover gasket and done the sump gasket as well today was missing 2 10mm bolts so put new ones in.
Might install the snorkel tomorrow see how I go with a few other jobs on it first that need to be done.
But its starting to come together so I might make a good truck out of the wizard yet.

stardog,
Can you get a shot of how the front bar connects to the frame?
That setup is different from the front bars they sold in the colonies ...
