Those convex mirrors are great. I can finally see out the side mirrors now. Had to fix the driver side motor as it didnt go through full travel left to right. A bit of contact cleaner sorted that and a bit for the passenger side too for good measure.

If you havent already, you should definitely upgrade to the convex. Theyre fantastic. Before all i could see, if i was lucky, was the rear panel magnified by 100. Now i can see all those smiling faces ive overtaken

Hazard problem is now sorted. A simple upgrade to LEDs and now they work as they should. As mentioned earlier, the right indicator speed was sorted when i upgraded the flasher relay.

Rear lights have now seen new tail light boards and LEDs. So now the whole exterior lights are LED except for the headlights which are H4s and everything is working how it should. Although, the brakes kinda glitch, is that normal? (Probably should have done the video at night).



Ive changed the A/C panel lights to LED but dont know where the cigarette lighter one is. Still, its all much better now. I really didnt like the heat those bulbs generate. They didnt have to be on long before they'd reach the temperature of the sun. Ill be doing the binnacle cluster soon and then the whole interior (except the battery light) will be LED too. I may save that job for october tech as it will give me something to do.

I start a new job monday so can start buying new front lower springs, lower ball joints and the crème de la crème lower control arms. I want to do the whole job in one go so i dont have to take things apart more than once. Then ill move onto getting a condenser, new rad and fans. Itll be an ideal time to include the bleeder kits too.

Its really great seeing the car coming together even if most of it are parts you cant see.
