Neither one of the lights was 100% complete.....will be using them to make one good unit complete with LED upgrade. Will look at doing an engine bay mount with the other one.... Its dark under that hood!

I managed to finally add center-cup holders to my "behind the front seat" counter. Also added a few strips of moulding so the tissue box will stop sliding every time I turn a corner.

I finished fabricating some brackets to hold mudflaps on the rear wheel wells. Used a cardboard template and bent some steel, drilled some holes and gave 3 coats of tremclad.

Hey, I have noticed some surface rust forming in the rear under and around the spare tire. I want to get rid of it so what are your thoughts on these products? I was thinking zap it with the rust converter and then use one of the 2 types of undercoating crap. Thoughts? Product reviews?

I would use the same product so you know they are comparable, but I would throw a layer of paint over the rust converter then over the undercoating a good layer of Fluid Film

Then you would have your total protection

In my experience rust converters etc only ever really attack the surface layer, so either sand/wire brush it down so its a very thin layer of rust, or por 15 it, which seems to work even on thicker rust.

I removed the old gold pinstripes and 2800 decals and replaced them with something a little more clean, new and different. Black I know is simple but it works and the red has a hint of orange so it looks retro esk.

Haha thanks! Maybe also because my modified JDM can go over a speed bump? :P if only there was a 4x4 category at that "car" show...sigh.. Was fun dressing it all up though! Major difference in the paint feel, nothing seems to stick to it, dust water etc. :D

I finally got hold of a MPH speedo fascia and installed it, then gps checked it, it was surprisingly accurate. In the post is some replacement LED's for the DELICA lights at the back, after that I may fit the OOGA horn I had in my landy, I'm thinking a big red push button next to the vent above the stereo, easy reach for both me and the passenger, and a label that says "OOGA" under it, then when the passengers ask what an ooga is, invite them to press it.

Made myself a cabin air filter. Remember reading here a while ago about them being non existant and got tired of the used dryer sheet I had been using always falling out when I popped the hood so I came up with a little invention. I purchased some new charcoal prefilters for our bedroom air purifier from London Drugs and realized they would work great to replace said dryer sheet. $15 (enough in the box to probably make 4 or 5) and 4 of my wifes bobbie pins to hold it in place. Works well.
