Suzuki headlights
Hi Igo,
Great question. I pulled some late-model-style headlights off the Suzuki GT at Pick n Pull. And then, after painting, discovered... the hood is not the same! So yes, it will happen someday, once everything else is done and I'm willing to drop the +/- $300 on the hood + paint. In the meantime, I'll squint and pretend that those rectangular sealed beams are flush with the fender!
In the meantime, it's my first longer ecorun tomorrow -- approx 160 mile round trip, almost all highway and freeway. I should put up some pretty good numbers, can't wait to actually see what I got. Am planning on getting through the city before traffic and then following semis on the more rural stretches of interstate. Although I jumped from 12in to 13in tires, I also swapped in a tranny from a car with 13in standard, so the odometer is spot on. (The speedometer is off by 10%, which is easy enough to remember when driving.)
Starting tomorrow, I'll go through the interior restoration and then document the ecomods proper.
Thank you to all posters for your feedback! And to the moderator who put me on the front page, a deep bow and tip of the hat. It's definitely the high water mark for me in car restoration so far. :-)
