nicco wrote: orightty then kidlets. its been too long without tinkering!  Got hold of a spare set of taillights of Nigel recently so i could try and mod them the same way as first shown to me by Mark154R. I did one this arvo (its bloody difficult trying to split the lights open without using an oven (i live on campus at uni, so no kitchens for us  ) instead had to fill the sink with boiling water and hope no one asked why i was in the bathroom with a taillight!! i think it came up s**t hot. I've still got to do the other one and im not sure when i will get the time, so for now the stockies are back in, but these should whet the appetite.        hey how you doin nicco just wanted to know how you put the tail light covers back on after spraying them i.e. did you glue them back or did you use something else cheers |

s**t sorry plper, completely missed your message. to seal them back up i actually just re-heated them in the oven and jammed them back together. being in townsville we've had s**t of rain in the last few weeks (over 200mm in 24 hours the other day!
 and i haven't had any moisture getting back in.mitchell, just finished up mechanical engineering. you do uni? so for everyone, stereo rebuild has started. i am making a lot of effort to ensure nice straight cuts this time (last ones were a bit shonky in places) and spending heaps of effort making sure that the spare tyre comes out unimpeded. the frame work is already in place, so tomorrow my mate and i will lay the floor. depending on time we will carpet it either tomorrow or next weekend. will show photos soon |

Hey nicco.
Nice build you have going here, i love what you've done with the taillights. Its these kind of mods on a budget that make all the difference. Andrew.

mitch: that picture cracked me up. nicely done. even my commodore owning housemate laughed!
andrew: yeah thanks man, the little things really do make the difference though don't they. I've been keeping an eye on your build too, coming along really well. dan: damn you man!! i love simmons FRs, but they are so damn expensive. maybe a set of FR18s might go alright to i've got some wacky schemes that i am dreaming up, and directions to take it without blowing the budget. but i wont be telling anyone about them cause i dont want to sound like a t***! we'll wait and see what eventuates from it all
