KugaWestie Posted April 25, 2020 Author Posted April 25, 2020 I completed the rear lamps today by fitting the drivers side combined unit and also the number plate light. Nothing is wired in yet though. Next was to fit the headlight bowls. Followed by the headlights, again nothing wired in.
Gary Taylor Posted April 25, 2020 Posted April 25, 2020 Great work and it’s always good to start adding and fitting parts. Looking at your rear end , those are a fair set of tail pipes in diameter, only noticed it when you see the other furniture added keep up the good work
ludo Posted April 25, 2020 Posted April 25, 2020 yes, without the the paint they do look pretty big, is that for complican reasons or you plan on keeping them?

Looking at your rear end , those are a fair set of tail pipes in diameter, only noticed it when you see the other furniture added keep up the good work Thanks Gary. The plan is to reduce the size of the tailpipe tips as the are a bit ASBO really. I intend to replace the two rear silencers with some larger oval ones as it is just too loud at present. When I do this I will sort the tips out at the same time. The exit pipe from the silencers to the tailpipe is 2.5”, but the tips are 4” at present!!
KugaWestie Posted April 26, 2020 Author Posted April 26, 2020 Today was time to play with a high value item (four figures 😳) So first up was some setting out and chain drilling of the body. Then a test of position with a steel rule to make sure I was in the right place for the upright to land on the chassis fixing area First upright through I repeated on the drivers side and then we were home and dry Cast your mind back to when I adjusted the body to make the passenger door fit better. I was expecting to have to adjust a small area of the body to the screen where I forced the body into a new position. This proved to to be the case, so some local filling to make up levels so the body actually hits the rubber seal on the screen

Only one supplier makes them in the uk, they supply all the kit manufacturers, I had to wait over 12 months to get mine, so you are over a barrel unfortunately!
