All DIY's have these intact, and none ever say what to do if they're bent. Terra and I tried bending them back but they just broke from being old and fragile

Now the other Good/Bad.
Good: Installed my passenger side CBI that I got replaced for free. Also fixed the angel eye on the projector side. From time to time it would only light half the ring, or like 75% power. I'd have to hit the headlight for it to get 100%

Bad: Got it all buttoned up and then the drivers side bulb started flickering and died. Then came back on. I'm letting the car sit for a bit in hopes of it fixing itself. I'm about to rage real hard right now.

I recall a thread about that being bent, I think a new sun shade is your only option unless you can find a part number for that.... And is that the same bulb you just got replaced?

The metal part is incorporated into the shade. So I need a new shade. I took my old one out in the meantime. I'll probably wait a while until I bite that bullet.

But no. Initially the bad bulb was the drivers side. Swapped it to the other side to see if the problem followed the bulb and it did. So I took it out and put an old Phillips bulb in there. Then I took the passenger side Phillips bulb out to replace with new CBI, and the older drivers side CBI was giving me shit.

Picked up my carbon fiber seat back covers today for the ///M. I can say that I'm finished with all my carbon fiber accents inside ;)

Bought an OEM glovebox flashlight brand new off eBay for 15$ since mines missing. Gonna do the led conversion

New licence plate bracket and hardware installed.

New hazard/central locking switch also replaced, since the old one was acting up. The bottom of the old one broke apart in my hand during removal. Wonder if that plastic gets brittle from exhaust heat from the trans tunnel.

What is "the" LED conversion? I've frequently thought I need to find some way to get an LED flashlight in there!

JP...Plans for a different steering wheel or are you going to keep the citybus wheel?

Justin, the giant wheel is staying only until we decide to ditch non-power steering. It's not exactly the best technology, but the car was built in 1968 and it works. The main problem is the amount of fab necessary to mod a power steering rack in. I'll wait until I am ready for an engine swap to deal with that kind of non-urgent project. For the near future this car will be probably be just a good running, kinda ugly, slightly modded 02. When I put some serious cash aside there will be a full Frankenstein swap and some crazy mods I've dreamed up, but that is probably still years away.


Just imagine Cain's car on steroids...
