Went to OrangeBoxx Fab this morning, and did a mockup of the gx470 panels he's going to make. Last time I was there, I left him a cap for one of the bolts on the ohcrap handle to color match. these turned out great. he's going to add a little more material at the bottom, to.move the lower standoffs down.
Then I got to work on the 80. rebuilt the starter I got from @fj40z, fixed the broken connector on it, and slapped it in. (After installing it with the bad comnector. lol I need to pay more attention)
Put a battery in and it fired up. no broken teeth on the flywheel. lol
Moved onto converting the front parking lights to dual function. used a pair of 1157 sockets out of a celica, and blended the harness. I've got a set of clear lenses that they will go in. No pics of that, since the whole nose is off for the head swap.
Replaced the hoses for the charcoal canister.
Removed the spark plug covers, and saw more PO asshattery...they have runners in terms valve cover to prevent that, jus sayin. I'll be adding a set of dense wires to the shopping list.
