craig mac Posted October 12, 2005 Author Posted October 12, 2005 Jamie How do you do it is it easy enough to do? Craig
jamie_wood Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 Bit fiddly getting the lamps out tbh. But once they are out they need stuck in the oven to soften the sealing glue. Not a job to do yourself if your not sure about it. It can go wrong too easily.
craig mac Posted October 12, 2005 Author Posted October 12, 2005 Ehhhhh Na Bu55er that i think i will just leave it Craig
craig mac Posted October 12, 2005 Author Posted October 12, 2005 Oh i miss my classic UNTIL I GOT THIS ONE WOO HOO Craig
craig mac Posted October 12, 2005 Author Posted October 12, 2005 This is what i had after the classic !!! Now this was fun!!!! Craig
craig mac Posted October 13, 2005 Author Posted October 13, 2005 Ally Cheers Pity i still dont have the other 2 Craig
Gumball Posted October 13, 2005 Posted October 13, 2005 nice cars craig. you work offshore or have a colombian cousin?
craig mac Posted October 13, 2005 Author Posted October 13, 2005 Gumball LOL Used to work offshore yes not no more though In fact i have not been offshore for 5 years THANK GOD Had the classic for 3 years and sold it to buy a new house get rid of expensive toy!! Was in the new house 3 months and needed the speed fix so Westie came home had that a year...just sold it 4 months ago Bought the Sti 2 months ago Craig
craig mac Posted October 13, 2005 Author Posted October 13, 2005 Ally Me too that classic was a cracker as the likes of Dougster they saw it I loved that car and was sick when i sold it I was asking on some of the south forums if anyone knew where it was now as if it was still in the same condition i would buy it back Craig
Iaing Posted October 13, 2005 Posted October 13, 2005 Nice cars mate. First one sounds as good as it looks Not sure about the colour of the westy but nice none the less! You dont have to stick it in the oven, I've heard if you stick them in front of a fan heater it will soften the mastic enough for you to separate the lense and remove the tango (need silver inicator bulbs)! I still havent got round to doing mine, give me a shout when you're thinking about it and I'll do mine at the same time. Iain
craig mac Posted October 13, 2005 Author Posted October 13, 2005 Iain Will be thinking about getting it done up until i go to get my Defi's Fitted These will be getting done on the next month or so The saving grace re the westie colour was the Red leather interior made it look like a classic car as oppossed to a thrash its ass off Hill climber But it was not driven like a classic!!! Craig
Iaing Posted October 13, 2005 Posted October 13, 2005 You should de-tango though. What a difference it makes. Who's fitting your defi's? Lovely gauges, would like some myself. Iain
craig mac Posted October 13, 2005 Author Posted October 13, 2005 Iain Wuz will be doing them when he gets home Craig
oobster Posted October 13, 2005 Posted October 13, 2005 Craig - nice motor. Very nice. Jamie de-tango'd my front lights as i wasn't confident enuff to do it myself. He made a really good job and it made a big difference (IMHO) to the look of the front of the car. He used boiling-hot water from a kettle plus a hairdryer to soften the sealant but i think the job (from lifting the bonnet, de-tango-ing then closing the bonnet again) took just under 2 hours. Well worth it, i don't know why they still put those orange triangles in brand-new ones coz it looks SO much better without them.
craig mac Posted October 13, 2005 Author Posted October 13, 2005 Oobster Yeah i agree after seeing your car it has to be done Where did you get your bulbs from? Cheers Craig
oobster Posted October 13, 2005 Posted October 13, 2005 Revolution in Gatshead - £15 per pair, i think they are W21W's.
