bit more on the project

[mpk490p]

I gt a can like that but slash cut.  It IS loud without the baffle!

Where are the lights from?  I\'d like to upgrade from standard, had been thinking of ditching the pop ups in favour of the bubble type.

it may of took a while but i knew i had seen some somewhere!!

[mpk490p]

So finally these turned up today! no charge from the vat man so very happy

just need a quick clean but one thing i noticed is there are no markings on the plates so i may mark them up or find a decent rule when i set them up!

You are properly going to town on that FB dude.
& I thought I had an addiction!  You make me feel much better!  What did you go for in the end with the lights?  Bulbs or the whole shebang?

[mpk490p]

the \'sleepy eye\' look? yes easy enough its done with a extra switch from your headlight up/down/wash switch

will have to check the wattage they came with the headlights but as i say well recormended!
hows things with you? are you down this way anytime soon? i still have that bracket
im up near Hull in the next couple of weeks but it will be in the day

Should have mine back soon (I\'m promised).  Steering all done, but they found one rear wheel is wonkey.  Needs new axel housing.

Oh, have to buy separate 2 pairs of wheels, as the fronts are now 5 stud.  Can\'t get the hub converters anymore.   Wanted wider ones on the back anyways.

[mpk490p]

sounds like your having fun then!
was the rear always like that? no wonder you had steering issues

I never dinged it so must have happened years ago

Good post,youve done a lot of work on that car mark,reminds me of building my cobra replica years ago,Never Again!!!
Lighting looks improved.ive seen a pair of headlamps with xenon bulbs for $5 in US.
Theyre called \'projector\'lights or similar.
Have seen high definition kits for $70 US dollars,so will look into that.
Your leather interior looks the biz,i think the savannah models in US had the leather interior.
Have you got lsd in rear diff?
cheers stuart......

[mpk490p]

thanks, i dont think we got leather in the UK (maybe a very expensive extra) but it was on top models in the US, the headlights are well worth it.
no LSD again i dont think it was a option over here as we didn\'t get a true GSL -SE model, no dash change, injection or LSD in the UK as standard

After finding a water leak (o rings on inlet manifold) i decided to pull manifold and and do the job right (it lasted 8 months fitted by specialist!) i got some 20mm core plugs and sealed them up, car goes great once again and it only took me 45mins top, i would recormend this fix to anyone going from a standard carb well worth the few pence it costs;)

[mpk490p]

had a busy weekend finally fitting some of the bits i had,
rear bushes now fitted with upper control arms left in origional rubber and anti roll bar removed
ss brake lines fitted including rear axle line
Noltec top mounts
just sitting in Guilielmi Motorsport now having the car set up, (thanks Warthog Steve\'s a top man)

bit of a update, after fitting the noltec top mounts i found the top spring mount restricts anything pass standard camber, so im going to order the respeed coilover kit front and rear, and i will be picking up some new wheels next week!
Kei RS GT\'s 18x7.5 in Hyper Black
i also have a ported intake manifold coming for a 48IDA just a shame i have spent on the money on the wheels and coil overs!
also order the SS braided lines for the oil cooler as im going to do a oil change soon

nice touch dude - always something going on eh?! #;o)

rather partial to those wheels - think they are gonna look pretty pucka against the gleaming yellow coachwork! #;o)
