Need HID Headlamps - I can't see!
shortysayhi replied to rdweninger's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
http://shop.lightwerkz.net/Complete-Morimoto-H1-Bixenon-Projector-Retrofit-Kit this is the exact kit i got (it comes with everything) the one thing you need to choose on it is the h7 (its the same plug as the h4 but you just have to re wire them in the right place for hi/low/ ground). The belt sander worked great actually, i started with 80 grit and worked my way down. i just got the belt wet and had a little water in the headlight and kept getting the dirty water out and putting it back in. the one hard part that i had was getting the cloudiness out. then i found out that the headlight resto kit i bought had super fine sand paper in it and did that then used a power drill to polish and clean. and they are as you see them. The hid kit doesn't come with sealer to glue them back so i used JB weld (the 4 min one) it can resist up to 300 degrees, just incase i encounter a problem i can always stick it in the oven and split it apart. -
What do you think? (its just roughly put in). Also you forgot a 10 socket, hammer and pliers is all you need haa

Need HID Headlamps - I can't see!

I bought a hid KIT, theres a difference between HID and HID with projectors. I did the same as Turbone they work great, the whole kit (bulbs, ballists, wiring, 2 hid bulbs, and Projectors... (they spread the light)) it ended up costing me 300+about 200 because the company i bought it from didn't give me instructions for the wiring harness. Now i know how to do them so it would total to 300. The labor just for splitting the glass to the bucket and installing the projectors, but also sanding the glass to get rid of the ridges took about total of 8 hours (for both). The Hid kit was bi xenon which is the Hi/low beams. and they work with out problems. -
I think it was different, I'm pretty sure he changed to a solid axle and just used springs (not in the fender wells) Heres my progression as of today, got the wagon ea82 harness out and dash, and started modifying!
-
Yeah thats what i was thinking just have to take one off a gl and find out I'm just thinking since I'm moving the harness from my parts car (wagon) and engine from sedan i could use the tail lights make things simpler and parts are easier to find! I said this before, but i am ending up using gl rectangular headlights instead of the quad round ones. that will be a challenge Yeah im not excited to fix it... unless i end up making wheel wells square-ish.
-
So today was first day, and i tore Everything out!. Fixed dented roof a bit, but found out ea81 brat dashes aren't that hard to take out. I had some other ideas (not sure if they are possible or not) but on the rear would it be possible to use shocks that are the same ones as the fronts? (obviously modification to accomplish it) but would it be better then the single shock? I also had one more idea which is to use 86 gl wagon tail lights instead of the brat ones? whatcha think?
-
I will let you know deffinetly, the main things I need are glass, I'm not restoring I'm putting in ea82 with hi/low trans, lowering it and. Fixing the rust! And complete dash swap etc. same goes if you find some leads. I also Had a idea of making the 4 lights changed overto the square gl/ legacy bracket type set up.
-
Thanks, and no i haven't... never even heard they had some If you go to like auto zone and see the brand/ manufacturer and compare it to walmart they might be the same but cheeper. My tint i think was 12-16 and I'm using 20-25% tint on mine, its dark enough to not have to use the mirror night/ day switch, and you can see some what into the car from out side, i just want darker. looked on my computer and found this.
-
Ill get some better pics tomorrow, but heres one you will see the triangles in the top right of it. i plan to re do mine anyways because i want it darker but the only bubbles i have is on the back rear window, none of the doors
-
And the build begins tomorrow!!
-
It would work, for my car (first time i did it) i didn't use a heat gun or blow dryer, it went on that easy. The kit i bought at O'rileys auto parts had the adhesive solution in a squirter bottle, a plastic card thing to flatten it and get bubbles out, but i can take pics the one bad part that i did was i didn't have enough tint so my front windows have sections where theres like triangle pieces of tint (but it still looks good!)
-
I tinted mine, it cost about $60. The window on the back (for sedan) is the biggest pain in the a**. You just have to make sure your windows are super clean first. And there's the tint spray adhesive and just take your time and don't rush. One package of widow tint covered all 3 doors of my sedan. Having a heat gun also really helps too.

Can I repaint my lisence plates?
shortysayhi replied to NWSubie's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
I only had one plate (drove around for 7 years no issues) and in co we need both front and rear i said they were lost... paid about 5$ and got 2 brand new plates! with tags -
The only rust that is apparent is the left wheel well, and a quarter sized speck near the end of the bed, inside isn't AS trashed as first thought (since i swept most of the glass out) and picking it up hopefully tomorrow! And THE HOOD is in PERFECT shape! found that above a little stream covered in snow.

Mercedes-Benz: The Best or Nothing

Whats with the white windows in the rear of the car? is it special effects or real?!? -
Mine
-
Probably high, I don't think it is a 4x4 but i just emailed him about it (hopefully it is) and I've shipped a fuel pump that had gas in it and was leaking (if you package it your self with out them knowing they don't have a say you just say its a metal box)
-
Theres a 83 gl 3 door... in colorado that would probably work. its just 2 hours away from me or else i would have bought it before he scraps it
-
Should I buy:? 86 turbo gl....
shortysayhi replied to fauxden's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Do you know the suspension? I wouldn't get her a turbo car but it sounds like its a pretty good car in good condition. If you could post some pics maybe? is it a wagon or sedan? -
