The turbos look fantastic on there! What are you replacing them with?

Been messing with the car lately and took it out of storage. Last Wednesday was the first time I drove it since last November. Had a few things to do.

Sourced some better condition headlights and frames. Got new adjusters as well (took forever to find them) and assembled them. They now aim and fit well.







The manual mirrors I posted got smoothed and painted. They turned out seriously awesome.



Wheels are different. Only temporary though.

I just read this whole thread while I should be asleep for work. Your car is Awesome! All the hard work and patience really made this car a stand out! Keep up the awesome work and finish up the little details. Subbed for sure!

I have no idea how the door panels look on these, but when you go from power to manual, are you going to have to drill holes in the plastic where the mirror bolts to the door?

No modification necessary on the drivers side. The location of the power adjustment is the same as where the manual adjustment knobs go. Passenger side I just have to make a small hole in the door card where the adjustment knob mounts.

I would assume they're old style where you just reach out the window and adjust by hand=)

They have cables and knobs that adjust them from in the car. The 'doing it by hand' method is what I've been using unfortunately.

Well, these mirrors don't have removable covers unlike my original ones, so it looks like these are getting smoothed and painted as well...

love all the work that is going into this car.
you are doing it justice!

btw do you have a little movie of the sound of your car?
i would really like to hear it.

Don't have any videos of it unfortunately. It still has a full exhaust with resonator and OEM muffler so it's fairly quiet.

Took apart my headlight assemblies and realized I need to redo them entirely.



Mirrors came in yesterday. It will be so nice to have manual ones. Need to swap the covers with my smoothed and painted ones, then install.
