I've also done the clear indicator mod. Before and after


Swapped the EA T-bar for an EB one. EB one is on the right (BTW, I've replaced the lower dash, so the damage on the right is gone, also the checkerplate floormats are gone)


I've also upgraded the stereo but that wouldn't count as a quick mod, and I now have an XH snorkel, which improves the appearance of the engine bay as well as improving efficiency. Unfortunately that's pretty much all my mods


I'm planning to colourcode doorhandles soon as well

BLDNUT01: nah did it myself, im not paying that price off ebay when i can spend $3 on a cheap can of gloss black and do it myself! i did however get the idea off the ones from ebay! the indicators and different now tho, i got some chrome backed ones instead of the light grey in those ones and i put a black line around the edge of it:


EB_Lightning: yeh did it myself also (i do everything myself, except mechanical stuff!!). just used cardboard. have a look back for my door trim thread and you'll see how i did it.

chop the springs, get some EF stockies, a Snap-On seatcover and a monster tacho and hang out at Bell.St macca's. Quick, cheap and you'll be fully sick.
