Looks brilliant. Love the detail around the area below the tray.
Erich, Andrew, in keeping with the white theme why not fit Puma front indicators and side lamps (both are clear lens, orange bulb). The orange bulbs are readily available (Tojo's use them too).
I did try and get some, but karcraft didnt stock them yet. I should have another try, as they will suit the car well.Quote:

Did you get the wing top vents off Karcraft too? I've been after some but the are sooooo expensive even in the UK:(
The lights are the same lens as the park lights it's only the bulb holder that is different as the orange bulbs are stepped bayonet. That doesn't help for the side lamps though.
I wish i had more time. I would love to fit a VG30 nissan turbo aswell....Quote:

It will be re-chipped. We have scourced a flashable ECU (the origional 2001 one wasnt :mad:).
Atleast it is all starting to come together. Tuesday with any luck we will go over the weighbridge, then the suspension will be ordered to suit.
No they came from a friend who imported them from the UK. They are not called LRX anymore, they are called KBXQuote:

We added 2 extra cables, one for the winch, 50sq mm and one for the auxilliary fuses 16sq mm. The switch terminals were not long enough to cater for all the cables so we added a lug / bolt junction at the top of the batteries, as can be seen on the pic below. The switch was installed at the front of the battery box with the knob protruding through. The batteries can be isolated from the passengers side front. Batteries are clamped down with the original bracket. Timber spacers stop the batteries from pinching the cables which protrude through the side of the battery box.

All insulated, taped and covered with rubber insertion. A rubber insertion sheet will cover the top of both batteries.
