    As mines a facelift the indicators are in the tail lights. I bought the plugs and made up some looms myself. Then just added an orange bulb in what was the reverse light. My bumper lights are untouched.

    Today I changed the rotton rear mudflap brackets. Very messy job :cry: Found out I had limited access with the drill and some of the rivets are made from a very tough steel. Anyway managed to get them both off which revealed some rust. So I cleaned it all up with a wire wheel, used rust...

    Right, got fed up with the poor rear wiper arm situation. As you can see my rear screen is damaged by the plastic wiper arm twisting and then the body of the wiper blade rubbing on the glass. So I've got a D1 rear wiper arm, bosch blade and a 4 way clip on washer jet. Now this is sorted I can...

    Decided to weld on the LPG filler and trailer electrics brackets to my new shackle mount to get the best positions for them. Dropped it off at the powder coaters and here's the result. Also got the shackle done.

    Got hold of a good secondhand throttle body from a friend, smoke tested it yesterday and it passed. Cleaned it up today ready for the new plate and gaskets etc to arrive then I'll swap it over. Will strip the old one and see If I can machine it to accept some kind of seal, just for a spare.

    I prefer the pre facelift rear lights so they match the lower lights and fit the protectors properly so I made up a harness and fitted one rear light lol. Still on the search for the NS but much happier with the look.
