Well, with mine I trimmed back about 2mm from the edge of top of glass, and it only goes as far as the channel front and rear, that way its not being rubbed by the channel all the time. You cant really see any gaps. As it "Says on the box" if it lifts seal it with clear laquer on the edge. But I'd ...

Ok heres the thing... they stay in place ! :)
Measure up as closely and accurately as you can the window glass.. use a template if you want.. fish and chip paper is good (not used !!) wet the window and stick it to it if you need it makes it easier to cut.
Now cut the tint out (make sure that ...

Pt3.
The Honda steering column looks pretty neat too, might try and squeeze that in (less airbag :) ) allthough I'm not sure how handy a smaller wheel would be in the bush, or on the street for that matter.
let us know how you go trying that, i really need a smaller wheel. WRX seats dont leave ...

yeah similar idea here but the problem is the manifold studs are 110mm spaced and the Holley/Webber is spaced @ 90mm My idea is use 2 of the original manifold studs (extended ones) to go right through adaptor and carb and 2 studs are tapped in the alloy adaptor, the same end has bolts into manifold ...

Ripped out the old standard $hitty seats, as they were well dead, and managed to pick me up some VC Commo seats for $50 in Lime Vinyl - and they are basically mint condition, but now with these seats if i go to put my foot on the brake / clutch then i rub the top of my leg on the bottom of the "bus ...

I have a Lynx KC217 adaptor but this is for an 18R, I have slotted it/drilled it buggered around with it, but its still not right. Are there any other adaptors made for this conversion ? or should I get the manifold built up and machined to suit ? also the butterflys open the opposite way, so a link ...

Most people glue marine carpet straight to the roof, but the lining in the Honda is a flexy fiber type stuff easy to cut and shape, but time will tell..
Hey I found a clutch fan on a Corolla at the local dump, anyine use one of these ? or should I stick to the fixed fan one ?

Going to try and fit the roof lining out of the Honda Accord.. it seems about the right length, just a bit of trimming shaping with a bit of luck, the roof rails should hold it in place and there is some room to tuck it in between the side walls and roof. The Honda steering column looks pretty ...

Mine is similar, fill it up... gauge goes up..comes back down... goes up again, then as ya use it, it goes down...then back up... and finally down.. this can be fun..if you forget. I suspect a dent in my tank is to blame or more likely a worn sender in the tank.

Well it needs paint bad... and either Fire engine red or flouro green are the only colours I like... black just wont cut it.. too many ripples, and camo would be too hard to do to a good standard... will do the body last however, I need to do the front hubs, got the rego so it can wait, $500 bux for ...

Custom guage cluster, I have a delux dash board to mount up, but I have to shape it to match the contour of the guage cluster.
Couldn't get any pics of the windscreen overhead compartment (just too much background glare), but you can imagine what it looks like, judging from the other pics.
I ...

Well, the thing with an MP3 player is its multi spin ie: the disk spins and reads at higher speed than a normal audio cd, data is read off at a higher transfer (a tad higher requirement than normal audio cd) but buffered at a better rate than normal, even although cd in general is a bad choice for ...
