Yeah yeah yeah..

 

Hurry hurry hurry hurry hurry hurry.

 

So as I said earlier, the reuse of old bumpers was an epochphail. I decided to be a dumb teenager and use the cheapest idea I had. When I was on the mando armor forums (thedentedhelmet.com) I saw alot of guys make their fett armor out of trash cans. literally! they would draw the template onto a plastic trash can, cut it out and voila, Fett armor. it was cheap, easy to bend and set and modify, cheap to buy, etc. I decided to use a trash can for the fill panels on the front end on either side of the bull bar. Its held in place by three little bolts on each side (that i just so happened to find in the garage and that fit perfectly) the holes were already in the II's body, I'm pretty sure they were for the original valence. booyeah!

and now, pichas!

 

the II is lookin very very nice arin!

 

When are we putting it back together?

 

Thanks 90mustanggt!

Pete... WE are not putting it back together. ARIN is putting it back together :P and besides, that wont happen until the carb scoop is installed, hood is painted and stripes are laid down. its still a bit before this puppy is done

 

i would help you arin but i am in massachusetts

 

lol thanks for the offer. The one problem I've found with the repaint/bodywork project is I get almost nothing done if people are around. and that I do better work when I'm by myself. I spent all day working on this with Cammy and Brian, and I got next to nothing done aside from cuttng a few holes in myself by accident. Whereas I was working for like what, 2 hours today and got this front end set up.

I noticed your sig, whats wrong with your fox?

 

sweet. Arin, is there a website with the carb scoop? I want one for the T/A...

 

But you already have a shaker :P

I got mine off of ebay

 

yea, but one of those would look mean in place of the factory scoop...

 

i suppose.. I like the original look on the TA, but thats just me. your car after all, but whatever you do post pics

 

Alright so it looks as though the originalturn signal housings are not going to work. its not gonna look right and theres no good way to mount them. right now I'm looking at these



It goes back to the LED idea I had a while back. I could mount these in the inner lip on either side of the grill opening in the header panel. It'll be discreet when I'm not turning, but it'll work just fine when I am turning. I'm gonna surf around for some better ideas for a bit but if I can't find better, this is what i'm doing

 

And right as I post that I see another idea...



thoughts guys?

 

As much as I try not to think about Fiona if I don't have to I would go with the first ones. Just one on each side in the center of the grille.

 

Went ahead and ordered the first one, the think LED line thingie.

 

That scoop is called a Mr.Gasket Street Scoop II
can be had new here http://www.jegs.com/i/Mr.+Gasket/720...744198%7C11349

 

hehe

I cheaped out Doug and went for an unnamed brand Though the seller said he was out of stock of the cheap one I bought and is sending me the more expensive summit scoop, still i flat black

 

Hey Arin what kind of wheels are you goin' with. Painted black steel. How about painted black cop wheels with the little chrome hub/lug cover.

 

I'm probaly gonna keep the current 13" five slot mags in front and 15" ten holes out back.

I ain't gots moneys for new wheels or even tires for my other two ten holes.. I might black out the rear ten holes in the same way the cops did on their SSPs though, that all remains to be seen though
