Oh those carbs....... Mmmmmm

[uras1]

did you pull every part off the horns?

[EuroDat]

It's not 100% perfect, but it will do until I can find a NOS grill.

Man, like wtf is wrong with it. For us mere mortals its like 110%

If I only had the time, patience and the dedication you have? Looks great like everything else you have done in this thread.

Regarding the horns, I left the guts in there and let me tell you, I had a hard time retuning them, it's quite fiddly. I had the backs blasted and zinc plated the rest.

With the cluster, the light is kind in this image. There are some minor dents, I manager to roll them out a little since but it's still not perfect. It does add some character though.

just re read your earlier post and I understand now

So you may remember this POS from January....

I finally did some more work on it recently. After I'd finished lead filling the holes in my original centre piece I had to grind back the filling and prep the metal for epoxy primer. The outside came up nice but the inside (which is visible when the bonnet is open) is really pitted. I used filler to level the surface off so it will come up nice once it's painted. You can see the pits in the images.

The plastic end peices were looking pretty shabby also. They had to be rubbed back in prep for priming also.

It turns out that under all that grime, rust and black paint that there was some original colour under there which was great as it gave us a chance to colour match the paint. Hiro, one of Troy's painters mixed up some colour for me ready for paint.

Troy painted up all the pieces for me ready for reassembly and now I'm ready to go, just need some time to sit down and work out how to put it all back together

I also picked up some other gems.

Some OEM S20/GTR turnbuckles which I think look better than the plastic end type

and some NOS scuff plates from a guy in QLD for a crazy cheap price!
