  1. There won't be much of an issue in terms of visibility once you get used to it (in fact its gonna be more nearer plus clearer) & am sure it'll look neat on the ride that way.

    Do what Ripper suggests & better take the ride along when selecting a suitable / compatible pair.

  2. Jeyadan Electroplaters, fair charges and reasonabliy good work they carried out. Recommended by MastorDon.

    Shall call 'em soon.

  3. "Some chrome around windscreen and rain gutter are missing, isn't it?"

    @ Pradfred : Congrats mate, am sure she'll turn out cool & sexy once done.

    BTW can anyone (who has experience in these kinda restoration projects) suggest me any reliable places to get some of these kinda chrome related / edge / beeding works done?

    Cheers !

  4. Nicely put, Dilesh... :)

    I have had great results with chicks when you make them laugh and take them out to a great meal. When tummies fill, skirts fall... :)

    LEDs just don't cut it.

    Mods, I guess this thread should be renamed WIE from "Installing And Wiring Led Strips" TO "Strategies to get laid ... the faster way" :D:grinning-smiley-003:

    I see many golden rules & guidelines been documented :yahoo:

    BTW just thought of adding up the following switching diagram for everyone's benefit (since we are in the topic) :to_pick_ones_nose3:

    Cheers guys ...

  5. Hey fatjoe,

    Hope you were able to complete the project.

    Hopefully mine will take another week or two to finish off the final touches & fittings.

    Btw was there any interior / fiber works involved in your restoration?

    If so just lemme know where you got em done (if the work is good).

    Also just curios to find out whether anyone knows any place where the lights (rear brake/signal) could be restored (such as filling up of the cracks/edges etc).

    Its a crucial task to get hold of a pair of lights for my model :unsure: (Colt Hatch 1987)

    Cheers guys,

    fatjoe, would love to see some pics :alc:

    I shall post a collection of mine once completed ...

  6. Nice to see another " Box Lover". My car is still in da garage. For today it has been 4 months since da bloody tinker started work. Still some more to go. I just want to kill da bastard as soon as he finishes the work. :violent-smiley-030: Ma only relief is buga is good at his work.

    Hey bro,

    Browsing thru the forums after a while ...

    Same here machang even mine's been at the garage for almost 3+ months now, & similar to your case, simply due to the quality of the workmanship I remain calm & patient :angry-smiley-048:

    Hopefully beginning next week the painting may begin.

    I am just wondering how some people complete tinkering + painting within short periods like 1 to 1.5 months ...

    Since I am now practically seeing the restoration, its evident that in fact it takes considerable time & effort to do a precise job.

    Good luck with your project mate ... Cheers.

  7. I re-painted my dash... in mat finish. You could also do it in a rubberized finish.

    Hey Bugatti,

    Appreciate if you can please enlighten us on your contact, seems impressive.

    Got few dashboard stuff pending ahead.

    Cheers !

  8. Nice to hear dat macahng. Lets see how its gonna turnout. I"m pretty sure dat there should be others who own or have experience with this vehicle. I'll try upload some pics.

    Only prob is ma 'tiker Baas' is a Lazy a**. hehehe. But he does da job properly so gonna give him some time.

    Good like with ya restoratio. Try to share da pics of da stages of da project.

    Hey bro, cool I shall cover-up some pics this weekend somehow.

    Lols, it seems that 'generally' all tinker fellas are same B) its best not to expedite but let them take their time for a precise job !

    We shall kit as we may exchange our experiences / suggestions etc ...

    Cheers !

  9. Any Lancer Box owners here? I started rebuilding mine from the scratch. Thought of others would have any tips. We can create a group or something if we have a considerable amount of BOXES.

    Cheers!!!

    Hey fatjoe,

    Great to hear mate. I Got a '87 Colt Hatch (more or less same tech specs as Lancer Box) which I have 'just' handed over for a complete restoration.

    In other words me too in your shoes & any tips / suggestions from fellow members would be most beneficial.

    I am sure there are quite a lot of Box's that are restored (or atleast heading that way :violent-smiley-030:

    Gotta follow this thread closely & am sure we might be able to get more info through a 'search' ...

    Cheers !

  10. Hi guys,

    Quite after a while on the forums :)

    Well one of my friends is in urgent need of used Land Rover 110 Valve Springs ... (hope i've got the term correct)

    Appreciate any advice, contacts & pricing info from all the Land Rover guru's over here :angel-smiley-026:

    Cheers

  11. Hi guys... I went to the P*la Auto Electricals last Friday. As most of you guys said, they were good at figuring out the issue. the issue was when i switch on the head-lights - both filaments (both dim and head) were lighting! I am v. pleased they figured it out and fixed. :)

    But the cost!!! - it cost me over 6k for that. It included 2.2k worth of goods purchases (bulbls, and a small circuit etc) , 1k for light cleaning, and a staggering 3k of service charge!

    I personally believe 3k of service charge is way over the normal price... so the bug is fixed. but with a considerably high cost... I won't recommend this place unless nobody else can fix it.

    Hi Tharaka,

    Well my two cents, if you had just continued running with the issue, you'd have simply busted 3K within the next 3 months replacing 6 bulbs as you have mentioned in the thread. Well may be they've charged you for the expertise & for the spot-on detection of the issue which the others failed mate. Well me not promoting or supporting this place but almost 2 years back when I just bought my car I got many recommendations thru the forum & took it to them. I still remember I walked in as a guy with zero knowledge on the electricals & these guys did a marvellous job in detecting & fixing. I had many issues such as wiring of thermostat set-up, headlight & exhaust fan plus many replacement of parts such as thermostat, bulbs & circuits. It took one full-day but 2 years back it cost me too 6K (the split was 4K for parts & 2K for labour/services) But I was very satisfied with the job because of the quality & concentration which most of the other places fail nowadays.

    Anyways great to hear that your issue is sorted & Im sure you might be feeling contented too B)
