And I have finally started to get the transformation under way!
(my other car is having drama's trying to get it to run at full boost on the microtech) so this is the one all the 'other' time gets spent on!
I went in to mitsubishi to find out how much the 04 GLS headlights were (240 trade!) i nearly fell over!
I searched the net and found a place selling all the 'all crash' and a few other names parts and ended up getting the front headlights for 75 each and clear side indicators from a lancer for 29!
next was the rear lights! 95 bucks for altezza ones of ebay!
and a new rear tub for 110 on ebay(as the current one has to many dings!
and rear flares from a guy out at ipswich for 50 bucks (the OEM ones)
next was the fitting of the lights which i put of for some time as it was going to be a hard job!
Durring this time I also bought an 04 GLS bar with the bumperettes so the bar would match when i got the front flares.
Long story short the 04 bar didn't last long as i put the bull bar back on minus the top bit and + a few holes!! for spot lights
Didn't really like the bull bar and seeing as its not a dedicated ofroad only vehicle i didn't really want the full bars (but still want to be able to shunt stuff!!)
the rear tub has had the rear pan all welded up except for the rear rubber tailgate stops and should be painted in the next few weeks hopefully
here is a few pics of the lights installed and the bar cut down
hopefully in the beginning of next year the truck gets raised and more rubber under the guards! and a billet grille!
