In person you can see a bit better. They are bigger but not by much. Ive got some exhaust gaskets here i will try and take some pics with them as the guide.

Cheers. Bob.

I got my crate of bits today, got all my suspension parts to fix the front end but couple of things were missing though..

Anyway got some delorean head lights.. Already had the grille for them. Looks ok just have to figure out how to wire them up. Since my car only has 1 headlight plug on each side..

The eyelids wont sit in the shut position because they hit this bit of the light.. I've got the eyelids that went with the car the lights came off but they seem to be exactly the same. I think it's supposed to have a different plastic thing on the end of the guard too.

I also got one of those non eyelid Nero grilles.. I reckon they look pretty good with the one piece headlights..

Fark!! Where de hell did you get those delorean lights from also they look quite similar to the Isuzu duals.

But wouldnt the DMC lights on high beam shine in theleft direction which would mean you wouldnt get a RWC for it?

Oh yeah I got the 3 engine control computers (fuel, knock, and turbo).. While the fuel computers microcontroller is rebranded a JECS i'm sure it'll be the same as the Pintara one I pulled apart where they hadn't rebranded it and it was a Hitachi 6301. So ive gotta find a ROM reader now.
Also just checked the turbo computer it's running a Motorola 68HC05.. So that would be cool if i can figure out the program it could be reprogrammed for more boost.

They're proper Piazza ones got them off a guy in brissy who had a JDM front cut. He put the engine in a Gemini so didn't have any use for the lights. So they're legal for RHD Piazzas.

The end of the cross memeber at the bottom of the pic is open isnt it Bugle??? I wouldnt bother trying to captivate the nuts, just bolt em in as long as you can get a spanner in there. Your not planning on pulling it out again in a hurry are you??
Whats the hole for i can see part of in the one on the left out of your car?? the hole in the top of the crossmember??

Is that an import bumper and indicators?? Where do you put the park lights with the std headlight setup??

Im interested in your findings on the computer chips.

I actually prefer the nero grille and the std lights over the twin setup.

Cheers. Bob.

There should be enough room to get the mig in there to weld some nuts on. Can only fit a spanner in there if the suspension arms aren't bolted in.
That hole is just a stiffening flared hole thing. Both ones have it.

Yeah import bumper and lights. It has the parkers as normal just they're orange. I dunno if that's defectible but if it is the RB Gemini lenses with clear parkers will fit.

I rekon a better look would be all clear lenses and coloured globes and the clear side lights.

Clear side ones might look alright.. I like the orange ones in the bar though.
