Progress is slow as I'm away from home so much, but I'm doing my best to get everything right I cannot reveal my sources for the cover, it's a 1-off anyway. I'll see howI feel about it when it gets here... It could be for sale for the right price...! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheTurtleshead Posted August 4, 2014 Author Share Posted August 4, 2014 (edited) Few little bits done..! Facelift sidelights finally wired up with some LED bulbs.. Here's a bit of loom and the car on the MOT ramp. Also made this little adapter to plug in between the rear lights and the loom on the car… The feed for the RH reverse light has been fed to under the centre console from the back…a red bulb has been fitted to that Reverse Light. Still determined not to cut any wires on the body of the car. Edited October 13, 2018 by TheTurtleshead (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahhh… I didn't mind them, but I do like the sidelights in the indicators, so I went for it. Driven that car of yours in the rain yet?

Yeah sidelights in the indicators do look good, on my aero I didn't have the side lights in the indicators. I just never wired them up, even though for years I always meant to do it And don't be silly, as if I would drive my deep jewel green Supra in the rain!! I just keep her in the garage to look at, not drive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Mark Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 All I see is.... LAG:p Are twins known for being laggy in comparison to a single producing the equivalent power or is just the size of the twins that is the issue. Just asking as I'm only BPU so am like a sponge soaking up info for any future upgrades........... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just asking as I'm only BPU so am like a sponge soaking up info for any future upgrades........... Compared to a modern, billet single... Yes they are laggy. However I have the small exhaust housings, which should choke them down and make them spool faster. Also looking into billet wheels for them..!

TheTurtleshead Posted August 8, 2014 Author Share Posted August 8, 2014 Decided running around getting people to tig stainless and aluminium for me… and shelling out every time.. was far too much effort. Won this little beauty brand new on ebay today, it's a AC/DC tig welder, and it's more than powerful enough for what I need it for. Should speed things up, I have so much work to do with it! Got it for a bargain price as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
