forgot to add, got my round headlights in!! have to make up some new mounts near the horns as that area was cut to fit cooler piping in. but nothen a bit a metal, welder and time will fix.

 

So it was the ke55 brackets that were the problem?

nope

you know how the lights have 2 adjusting screws and a spring to hold in place?

well the top screws went in fine, but the side ones didnt. because that area had been cut out for the cooler piping previously.

ive got something I'm thinking on, but not gunna say as yet.

Cool, is that fully bolted in now, or just sitting there?

 

Do you still need the other facia?

Fully bolted in, bitch of a job much.

Yeah ill still need the other bit. u can see this one is hacked up bad where the radio goes

OMG OMG OMG I'm HAPPY OMG OMG OMG!!!!

 

motor is in, thats all lol.

 

 

Just have to hook everything up. get new manifold gasket. clean the bay up a bit (dusty and sandy from all the sanding ive done)

got box all bolted in, tailshaft on, exhaust in. been busy today. have to stop, so bloody windy outside. apparently its supposed to hit over 100Kmh winds :(

Now you just need to lose the whitewalls, put some aggressive rims on it with dish and throw an early model front end on it and it will look sweet :(

Looking good, I eventually want a set of hotwires like those on my car.

Great look from the front.
