im liking this progress my friend!

I go out of town for 3 weeks, maybe when I'm back, it'll be done!

 

alright so im still waiting on the shop to call me up to come roll the front fenders. i talked to the owner he said everything but the fenders are ready for paint.

so to keep this thread alive a little i have been working on my retrofit a little bit. i am doing all of this to a spare jdm one piece headlight i have since its my first time... just in case i fuck up.

so i go tthe headlight all apart and i took out the low beam reflector bowl so i can mount the projector to it which will allow me to use the oem adjusters to adjust the beam once its all together.


here is the reflector bowl... i drilled out 4 holes i measures to mount the projector to it.


here is a before and after of the back of the projectors. i cut out the packs to allow the bulb to fit with no problem. i trimmed off the stock mounting points for clearance issues. and then i drilled out 4 holes where the 2 halves of the projector meet. i got a long threaded pole from home depot to use to mount them to the reflector bowls.


so i cut the threaded pole and used some washers, nuts and thread lock to hold the 2 halves of the projector together. i was then able to push the projector into place with the cut threaded poles going through the holes i previously cut in the reflector bowl in order to use locking nuts from the back of the bowl to hold the projector in place.




here is a practice cut for a home made shroud made from a stove top drop bowl. a flange of sorts will be used on top of this to clean it up a little bit. i got this idea from lilboi on bayareaprelude.com

zac u gonna need help puttin shit back together? let me know!

 

yea man for sure. i will probably try to get everything on in a weekend.
i have to install:
both set of bearings
rear toe arms
coilovers
5 lug conversion
stainless steel brake lines
hawk pads
camber kits
retrofitted headlights

hmmm.... maybe that will take a little longer than a weekend. and i kinda want to be able to take it to get an alignment at S&R before i drive it. the more help the better. i would trust you working on it and chris (g-magoo) said he would help and my brother will probably act as the bitch boy (getting tools, helping here and there with misc shit). i just want to get this thing on the road already. 5 months is long enough.
