That's a rad photo. I always knew I looked good but damn, I didn't know I looked that good.

Closer and closer with this one.

i want to know more

I'm still wanting to know more.

On the other hand the BMW's are looking great.

[TheChunknorris]

Very nice! Got a 76 '02 myself... but that set up so clean.

More progress. Euro Turn Signals go on tomorrow. I've decided to rip the guts out of a US turn signal and stuff it into a euro housing, so I can keep the correct wiring and not have to redesign the wheel like I did on my blue car. I think it will work out just fine.


I didn't get much done today, but I did get some stuff done. Look, I'll even show you.

[Kershaw]

Looks good.

I've done this several times, you will succeed and it is a very nice solution.

Heyyyy that's great news!

Did you reattach the guts to the housing via metal rivet or just bolt it all up to the body and let the screw keep it all together?

[Mlarsen]

Looking good man! Haven't been on here in awhile last thing I was the crash. Glad to see you've moved on and doing some cool shit.

I have not replaced the rivet in the past mainly because i did not have access to a replacement so i removed as little of the original rivet as possible when disassembling the light. That way, although the assembly is not pinched together itself it is located and the body attachment screws pinch it. 100% functional.

I got sidetracked this weekend and bought another 73 tii.

This one has a lot of really neat parts on it, including a rebuilt 10:1 euro-spec numbers matching tii motor, 5-speed, LSD, suspension tech springs, i.e. swaybars, h4 lights, etc.

This will be a good car.







Plans are to bring her back and make her pretty.

I guess if I ever want an 02 I know who to talk to you... freakin hoarder
