No greater fun then backing off the throttle at 7400rpm and spraying fire out the exhaust ;)

Ok, lets make some new progress.

As all know that i dont care jdm-look, euro-look, or else buy bolt on and be proud things
i want my car look as "my way". So few days earlier i get idea of new rear lights...
but i dont like altezza look, lexus look, and i am not so big fan of jdm-look either.

So?

So i started to make my own models, tail light mini-me, brake lenses are from 3g civic...
lights off from car and then to owen, after that lenses off, like this:

Image
Question: who quess now, what finished product would look?

first one "allmost" ready (half of work is done):
Image

Both tail lights 50% ready
Image

Next, final rear light install... Who quess final result??

Thanks for praise, piggy leg is still under work, i still missing garage where i can install remeining parts.
To get my "phoenix" to run i have to swap clutch, and new pair of dual carbs what i bought from
scrapyard, and remove the battery to trunk, cos my piggy leg comes to position where battery
normally is. I dont drive much lately, exatly not at all, and still my clutch starts to slip, i dont
understand that, that clutch could broke, when car just stands at my driveway :)

And now i work day and nights at work so free time is limited too :(

Like my buddy says:

When you are unemployed, you have time, but no money.

Rear lamps allmost finished, i have to build a "frame" to cover holes, but you
can see the overall picture :)

Re-modelled rear light.
Image

and with light behind brake bulb, and full flash outside...
Image

and now you ask: -"why you cover those lamps with mirror tint?"
and answer is: -" i though that they look great at grey car..."

What you think? Terminator rear lights? (laughs... xD )
