I know

Just picked up a brand spanking new set of Depo headlight, just got to wait for my other bits to come now

And got new battery terminals:

oh and i'm buying a short shifter off NeX aswell.

 

[Napster]

looking awesome mate! really nice!

 

[joesouthgate]

Cheers naps

Fitted the battery terminals, bloody cold now lol

 

[pjg1979]

oooooh very posh, liking it.(Y)

 

[joesouthgate]

Well looks better than the original ones, which are like tin foil in comparison! Was a bit scary hacksawing the old ones off! No going back lol

 

[joesouthgate]

Tested my new LED sidelights in my new headlights:

 

[Scouse boy]

Think I need some of them terminals myself, my car just died the other day (not even my hazards worked) so went to national (where i bought my new battery) and was told one of my terminals had a crack in

Think my car is raping me of all my money these days lol

 

[joesouthgate]

mmm, Thats why I'm doing these sort of things now, prevent rather than cure.

 

[Scouse boy]

Yeah good idea mate, shame I didnt see this forum prior to the incident lol

[Optispart]

where were the terminals from i want some i need a short shifter aswell.

 

[joesouthgate]

teminals were from ebay just over a tenner delivered i think. And I think the short shifter is probably a pulsar one which you can get on ebay for about £45 delivered.

 

[Optispart]

k cheers matey!

 

[Robert]

Where're you gonna be putting your indicators now you've got the sidelight where it should be mate?
Always considered doing this but wasn't sure what I'd do with the indicator!

 

[joesouthgate]

Well, I have just ordered:
-1 metre 60 LED Amber Strip
-1 load resistor kit

Bit like the audi lights but a bit more unique.

 

[Robert]

Ahh I see!
Are you gonna be painting these lights black inside too?

 

[joesouthgate]

Yep, just waiting for the LEDs to arrive.

 

[joesouthgate]

Should look something like this in theory:

 

[Robert]

Look forward to seeing it all done!

 

[Optispart]

looks mint!

 

[joesouthgate]

Short shifter fitted earlier:

 

[Optispart]

mint! prefer the short shifter ?

 

[frank]

looks quality MM , is it all ally ?

 

[Optispart]

hard to fit?

 

[joesouthgate]

No not ally,

The Short Shifter is made with high strength billet steel and nickel plated for ultra low friction and corrosion resistance.

still not bad for £20.
Much prefer, its such a quick gearchange now! And very simple to fit apart from screwing a captive bolt and having to hacksaw off lol

 

[jim_bling]

loving it fella cant wait to see it

 

[joesouthgate]

fitted, just forgot to take any pics, gaitor is all squashed so will have to get another one of ebay.

 

[Optispart]

what kind of gaitor you gettin?

 

[joesouthgate]

one of the leather imitation cheepy ones of ebay probably, in black.

 

[Optispart]

cool

did you use the guide to fit it?

 

[joesouthgate]

no, used haynes manual, and its fairly obvious anyway.

 

[1.3GX]

[joesouthgate]

[joesouthgate]

Bonnet lifters fitted:

 

[Robert]

Looking good as ever mate. were the lifters difficult to fit? Did they use any standard holes to fix to or did you make some?

 

[joesouthgate]

Yes they were a bit of a ###### to fit and i used new holes, though the bolt on the wing was sooo close it was iritating that it wouldnt shut bolted to it!

Did a video aswell:
