        Yay did some work today!

        Lets start with the nightshaded and clearcoated ditch lights and quarterpanel extension parking lights....





        Next up the 1979 ONLY license plate housing that I refurbished...



        And finally a low fuel LED added into the cluster....

        off






        On

            Thanks...


            And oh boy...I just ordered another round of goodies...

            distributor o ring, ring and pinion install kit, oil pan gasket, oil pan and a stainless steel intake bolt kit....next round will be rear gears and the 1.7 roller rockers.


            I recently picked up the poly energy suspension rear control arm bushing kit and a 1/2" GT 40 intake spacer as well. Tons of work waiting to be done to this car.....

                Thanks Julian. It was easy to do. Wet scuff with a dull gray scotch brite pad, duplicolor adhesion promoter, nite shades then clear coat. Let dry a week then some compound to get the dry overspray off and make it shine!

                      The brown blob is simply magnificent. Those ditch lights are looking fresh. The low fuel LED... I must have one. Is that steering wheel cover hand made?

                      Comment


                        Don't know if it was hand made bit I hand stitched it onto the wheel! Check out the link of the install. It is a wheel skinzs cover.

                          really like the tinted lens look. i plan on tinting mine once they come for my black Merc. tinting just looks so manacing on dark colored cars and yours is no different. love the speedo mods too! im curious how you wired up that low fuel light.

                            Thanks guys.

                            The low fuel light...one side to ground, the other to pin 6. Pin six is a yellow wire with a black stripe and gives the power to the led once fuel reaches a certain level.
