[MOD] Access panels

56astro - June 2nd, 2003 at 05:23 PM

I'm pretty sure it's been done before, but I'm getting access panels cut into the engine bay from the rear wheel arches. Make it a bit easier to get to the manifolds and spark plugs.

Pics to follow.

Cause I need to put blinkers on the Oval for the blue slip, I've decided to go with LEDs, just for something different.

UMM look cool where you find them ?

Is it that your semaphores dont work that you are putting on blinkers?because if they work they are legal as thats how the car was manufactured and will pass a blue slip.

For the LEDs check out

As for the semaphores, I could leave them in but I need to use blinkers front and back, 400mm from ground level, cause the engine is more than 15% bigger than std.

The semaphore holes have been blocked off anyway cause the seat belt bolts would foul them.

Last time I saw him he had about 2 days left on it before spraying. That was a couple of weeks ago, but I told him that since it's not going to be on the road for Valla then no need to rush.

I'll get some photos before and after the spraying and post them.

Yes, I know, bit weak hey man.

If the thing is painted (which I'm sure it will be <fingers crossed> then I may put the body on the box trailer for the street parade.

That'll be as good as it gets I think.

The last thing I want to do is rush and stuff something up!

Hooley dooley I'm gettin anxious to drive the bugger again.
