I kinda agree, because they look like an alternative to the VERY EXPENSIVE SPL lights,
but as I said will leave it for when the whole thing is painted 'cos they sort of go with the Bodykit.....see below... 
Lord, the Problem with opening up the lights and Painting the INSIDE (Which Personally II would get CHROMED  )....is that the Lenses will Yellow and make the colour look crap. |

I was going to say get it chromed inside! Makes the lights pop 
Have you thought about removing the hole for the intercooler (between bonnet and front bar)? If you have standard intercooler might not be best idea, but if not... it might have some potential...

HA,HA, Have you not looked a few Pages Back...Page 7, 4th from the Bottom.....
Because I have no Plans to change the Red One, it will remain as is, but is something I am seriously considering when Sneaza goes in for the Engine Re-Build. |

They won't.....The Plastic Lenses 'YELLOW' Because of their age and need to be Polished to keep them looking Clear and New.
Getting the inside Chromed is MY preference to Painting them....Similar to NEW Model cars. Even with the inside Chromed, I'll still have to Polish them.

How time flies........ when you forget things.....Registered for another year, driving it for the first time in 12 months, forgot just how much I smile when I drive these.....confuses the OH.... ,
So, got to a couple of things I've been dreading, adding an Electronic Boost Gauge and Tweeters ready for the stereo. I also ran the wires and connected Elec. Boost and Volts in Sneaza, which I just had running down under the Pillars.
I've NEVER attempted to add Gauges before and quite frankly, the thought of f**king up the wiring and having the car explode, wasn't helping, as well as the NAGGING in the background, bless her..... .
Another thing that also didn't help, was the fact that the 'Original' connector...(seen in picture) had totally different colours to the other half that plugs in....  , but after some searching, finally got it sorted.
Replaced the Dash Lights to RED LED to match the Gauges in both cars and while I had the facia out, decided to add the accent colout that will be throughout the car.....same as Body Colour |

Then came another job I had been avoiding....Due to the fact that I really didn't know how I was going to attack the problem....'The Roof'...But after reading Nikki's thread and seeing the result, decided it was time.
As my Grandson was over and we did the Easter Egg Hunt, thought I'd wait till after Lunch.
That done, started pulling apart the Panels...Edge strips, lining, etc....what a Bastard those xmas tree clips ar that hold the lining on.... > Any way, here's what the Panels looked like....Driver's Side |

....But all ended well. Result
Passenger side done and as tempted as I am to getting the dents out and Polishing the roof, think I can do without the attention from the Boys in Blue, so they'll end up same colour as the rest of the car....  |

Ahh thanks All I used was spray cans, the key to a good paint job is in the finishing, Wet sanding and mopping.
Keep up the good work.

LOL, Yes, but if it aint prepped right, all the good work will be for nowt....
I took mine back to metal for fear there may be more probs than I could see, thankfully there wasn't, except that I can see more dents than with the colour on them. These will be sorted and then primed while I wait for the Paint Fund to grow.....
So while I've had a couple of days off coz of the Flu, decided I would try and finish a few jobs I had put on hold.
Gauge Pod I bought ages ago......decided it was time to make a mold.... |

I must say, I even impressed myself......Other than the Front Lip mold I made a while back (which after this will be using shortly), this was the First time I have attempted to make a mold and used Gelcoat.
Now just need to trim it and wax it ready for the 'Glasssing to actually make one. |

| and thought I'd attach the new doorcards before the cruise.......NO, they are not staying that colour, that was a sample, which I have since discarded. They will either end up same as the Outside Colour....as I'm thinking ALL the PLASTIC Parts will with SUEDE/ALLECANTRA/WOTEVA...accent material for the Inserts and the Seats and Roof Lining....or Black...Time will tell..... |

Insert isn't there...lol the 'Space' for it is....Insert is the cover that will go over the Door Handle/Lock Mechanism.....and as I said, will be covered in Material matching seats and Head liners.....
So, went for a test drive with my Son in the Pass. Seat and as suspected, it caught on the part pictured above...and as I ran out of light, had to wait until daylight to remove the bits on both sides...just to be sure. Now all is well.....
So today I put the Fronts on and was Pleasantly surprised that after fitting the bodykit and fibreglassing it all in place, I only had to remove this section at the front, where the Lip was added, now wheel turns unhindered on Full Lock on both sides.... ...with the exception of same place as Sneaza on Firewall.....Using the Knockometer, that also is rectified......Not bad for 17 x 7" 205/40 17's 40 offset. |
