akira2_03 · #1 29-05-2006, 23:24

well i figured since im re-doing my s12 i might as well change the headlights to try make it unique. so i am throwing in a pair of 1991 300zx headlights

and here are some pics of the project itself. it was pretty beaten up when i got it

more pics up soon since i just did quite a bit of work yesterday, new side fenders hood bumpers etc.

good work mate, keepme updated, and on those front ones as well

yeah those front ones are gonna be quite the challenge, and i have to remold a hood so it will fit, but i think it will turn out great!

well here is some pics of what i've done so for...

the side mirror got wrecked from my buddy. i was teaching him how to drive stick and he tried backing up and side swipped the fence lol.

and for this last one the wiper blades are always set pretty high, so how do i set them lower so they are at the bottom of the windshield???? and the back one doesnt work, anybody ever change one before? is it hard?

The front wipers are on a small toothed spline for which you have to remove the wipers and simply move them to what posistion you want.

As for the back it could be a number of things including the wiring to the motor or the motor itself, swapping the motor is not a hard job atall

well the front wipers are hard because there are the rods attached underneath and i dont know where to disconnect it. and the back one i ne ver tried or seen what it looks like under the cover but doesnt it have the rods there too?
