Totally did not take any pictures today. But broke the funnels out and filled the coolant and oil up. Fuel is a all hooked up. Bled the brakes and the clutch. Then went to fire her up and the battery is dead lmao. So I'll get it charged up tomorrow at work. I spent the rest of the time drilling the mounting holes for the headlight bracket. That's it for now foolz

Haha Blake Olsen style ��

Haha glad someone caught on.
Got some angle steel from a coworker which was the exact length I needed for the light brackets. Rained all day so I messed with the bracket for sometime.


All I had to do was drill the holes and cut the one side because the was im mounting them is on the front of the core support like oem. just different holes. The hole idea behind the bracket and wiring is that if I need to, I can pull the whole assembly out and take it apart with ease.

Just a picture showing im back on stock fenders, with no clearance whatsoever haha

Then this was me draining the gas tank as lazy as I could haha.
Ill have some updates tomorrow since it shouldn't be raining.

Love the creativity with the lights but curious how much output they produce at night. Excited to see this back on the road!

Yeah I'm sure they will atleast be better than the sealed beams haha. Will they be better than retrofitting a projecter/hid setup, nope but these look cool lol

Small update. started making a mockup bracket out of handy dandy cardboard.


Then here's a shot of how I'm going to be running them. Low beam high beam

That's all for now. Got to drain the old gas out of the tank and do a couple other little things before I fire the engine up. Forgive the size of the pics my stupid phone won't let me edit them .

[TheCrabMaster]

Bought new calipers to go with my new brake lines. Painted them gold before I even left work haha

Then a close up of my intake bracket I made.

Improved it by using a old coupler to tighten so it doesn't flop around and to give it a little play. I love going back to old ideas and improving them. Going to be work on the truck for the next 2 days so I should have more picture updates

I like the picture with the one side using the halogen bulb and the other side with the LED's. It kinda gives it that cyborg look.

Like the scene where half the terminators face is ripped off. Haha

You got a pic of the connector?

We sell the wrong one at my work, Oreillys, nissan doesnt sell them. All my local you-pull-it don't have them. Struggle. Probably just going to zip tie it down
