DREWSDIME Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 Definately plastic on the back of mine and they are black but do have a metal trim on the front. Interesting, Id like to see some back shots of the grill with the trim to compare Quote Link to comment
Draynor Posted May 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 About to head to class. I will snag one when I get back. There is holes on the back of it, but I am pretty sure they are for mounting it.Any trick to mounting the grill. everything is different mounting wise compared to the 70's grill :confused: Quote Link to comment
DREWSDIME Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 Mounting is the same for the cemter part of the grill, not sure about the headlight bezels Quote Link to comment
Draynor Posted May 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 Hmm odd. It appears the 68 grill is missing the mounting loops top and bottom. Quote Link to comment
Draynor Posted May 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 Pics of the back. Quote Link to comment
DREWSDIME Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 How are they attached to grill? Quote Link to comment
Draynor Posted May 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 there is nothing there that will attach the grill to car... Quote Link to comment
DREWSDIME Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 The metal trim how is it attached to grill? I see the metal tabs are broken off to mount to car Quote Link to comment

Draynor Posted May 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 "JustJoel" came through today with the blocks and air shocks. Thanks again man, Super clean welds! Also picked up two B210 lca studs I need to fix the front end, along with some armrest. Oh and snagged the B210 seatbelts as well, Got really tired of lap belts :frantics: I thought since I am taking all this front end stuff out again I might as well go zx now. So I picked up some zx struts as well. I have shaft collars on the way. About to go order new inserts, rotors, and pads now. Having them shortened as soon as the inserts are here.

AtomChurch Posted May 20, 2013 Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 And your wagon still wont be low enough!. We need to cut it all apart and slam it. 2 Quote Link to comment
Draynor Posted May 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 :lol: With the flipped leaf should be somewhere about 5.5" lower than stock. that should be perfect for me! Still will really need to cut the tunnel and maybe do something with this damn inner step :w00t: ;) Quote Link to comment
Draynor Posted May 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 Was gonna trade Phil some tires for these reproduction euro lenses. But they were pretty bad, I took them home anyway too see how the euro tails would look on my wagon. I am in the process of molding my own sets. The goal is to get as close to a oem part as possible. Gonna be some work, but worth it in the long run!Here is some pics of the poorly done reproduction. Quote Link to comment
MicroMachinery Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 I miss my euro tails.. :( 1 Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 I actually like the stock lenses better. No offense to anyone who like the euro's. It's just orange that hurts me feelings.. But not hating on em! Repop's would be cool. Quote Link to comment
jrock4224 Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 euro tails look good onth e right color.....blue is a good choice.... my green car will run all reds... 1 Quote Link to comment
AtomChurch Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 Those one I believe are just painted color on clear plastic. They look terrible just sitting on a table. No hope at the point at looking good on a wagon. Quote Link to comment
Draynor Posted May 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 Yes,They are pretty bad... Quote Link to comment
philcas1987 Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 good enough for my wagon :blush: 1 Quote Link to comment
Draynor Posted May 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 Just waiting for parts :frantics: Also sourced another snowflake :ninja: One package came. Time to shorten some struts! :D Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 Whats the part number on those struts? What were they for? And lastly, how much shorter are they than stock 510 struts? I want to cut my strut tubes down and run shorter inserts too. Be an easy drop. Quote Link to comment
Draynor Posted May 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 1992 Toyota MR2 (SW20) front. Part #: 765015 Quote Link to comment
Draynor Posted May 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 Theses are the approximate measurements for the Kyb's. Compressed is 14.02" Extended 20.35Here are the measurements for the Monroe SW20 inserts.Body Length:13.125"Compressed length: 13.625"Extended Length: 20.125"Travel Length: 6.500" I do not have the exact measurements for the Kyb's. But I am sure it can't be too far off from the Monroe's. When I was searching around, I came up with them to be a couple inches shorter than zx. I chose the SW20 front inserts because they had one of the longest body's with one of the shortest compressed lengths. They also had the most travel compared to others I was looking at. 1 Quote Link to comment
