P-Kay Posted 5June, 2018 Report Share Posted 5June, 2018 shame you ruined (imho) the fuel tank but I understand the easier option of not masking it off. Either way, mission accomplished with a neater looking froot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, mission accomplished with a neater looking froot Do you mean that the fuel tank should be another colour? Or that is should just be left as it was? I am not going for originality with thing at all, just trying to make it neat and tidy ? Troubleshooter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P-Kay Posted 6June, 2018 Report Share Posted 6June, 2018 Just thought it looked tidy enough after the clean (fuel tank). As mentioned, you definitely achieved the goal of neater look! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeeM Posted 8July, 2018 Report Share Posted 8July, 2018 I've always wondered why they put the mirrors there, as I'm sure they'd be hard to see anything behind. Any specific reason Jeff? MFX 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any specific reason Jeff? It helps the car be narrower for Japanese roads, was standard fitment rules until early 80s until exports really took off, and rules changed to allow for door mounted, and the japs stopped buying them. Kind of like the bench seat - too uncool compared with fancy cars like Porsches and BMWs. LeeM and MFX 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
