Moar lower :) http://www3.telus.net/byron510/meston_motorsports_003.htm FutoFab sells Byron's rear camber/toe brackets. These brackets only replace the inner trailing arm brackets, so when adjusting camber the outer bushing needs to be compliant to shift "off axis" when you move the inner pivot point for camber adjustment. We recommend using either the stock rubber bushings or monoball bushing replacements to keep the suspension from binding. FutoFab sells DPR monoball replacement bushings for the rear trailing arms (not listed on our site, please email me for info/purchase). This kit will replace all 4 trailing arm bushings, These, while snug fitting are not designed to be a press fit and will need to be tack welded in place once installed. The kit using the stock 510 pivot bolts is $295/set + S&H. ($6 US). We have these in stock. 1 Quote Link to comment

zat Posted February 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 got this yesterday. free gift from a friend. it sat proudly on his vespa seat! gonna come in handy when redoing the upholstery. sample pix courtesy of google 1 Quote Link to comment
zat Posted March 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 PO of my car decided he would do everyone a favour by swapping the original dashboard. He grafted in the whole dash of 1st gen honda accord(that was the trend back then). pfffffttttttt! For the sake of everyone's eyes i decided not to share the blasphemous pix here. That being said, i had to search high and low for a complete, decent condition dash(which is quite scarce here). so here goes: glovebox door hinge is busted radio delete with coin tray(i think) gauges looks good any suggestions on how to restore the plastic parts? do i need to paint them? 2 Quote Link to comment
KlassicMotion Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 Personally I like to clean my plastic with some Meguiars Quik Interior Detailer and a "tooth brush". Then I wipe Mother's Protectant on it. Try it in a small un-noticeable spot before doing the whole thing, just to make sure you like the outcome. If that doesn't get you the look your going for, and you decide to paint it, you will have to clean the spot with some wax and grease remover like Deltron DX330 or equivalent before you paint it. I'm not sure if this is the correct color for you, but SEM makes some great Plasitc parts paint. I've used their "Honda black" bumper coater on some cars, and it was a perfect match to the 80's factory black paint, and durable. I would pick up some of this paint below and see if it's the color your going for... There might be some other options, I just grabbed this example from a quick search. http://www.autobodytoolmart.com/sem-flex-black-bumper-coater-39103-p-15329.aspx?gclid=CJa78vj99bwCFdBqfgodV0MAGg 1 Quote Link to comment
