you know, a different washer could end you up with a different number, so maybe i was too negative in my post...

Only one way to find out indeed Smile

I picked up the double headlights and grille from the postoffice yesterday! Hurray!

I opened the package and found it was very well packaged:

I found that the frames of the headlights are a bit more rusted that I thought...

I think I'll make a template and try either to fix it (with glassfibre or welded) or to have it copied.

But in general these double headlights don't look too bad.

I found the grille being cracked on several places, but not beyond repair:

And last but not least, the full view of the JDM AA63 grille:

All together I paid 2,4 times the price of the auction, from which the handling and shipping costs were about the same price as the auction. Smile

Only thing missing now are the yellow indicators. Undecided

I wasn't convinced they would leak, but the mechanic was... So, I convinced him now that it doesn't leak. Tongue

gsrturbo: I got my stuff through Aazuma trading (aka Mail Order Japan) and they are the ones who package it neatly. I personally don't think the normal sellers on auctions yahoo would go through this amount of trouble. But then again: the handling costs are quite high.

Finally brought the CS rims to a sandblaster and they are going to get a silver-grey coating this week as well. Coating is the same color as the Carina GT-R had and that's exactly what I had in mind. Smile

I'm also going to need tires for them and I already decided upon Falken. I'm still doubting between 185/60 and 195/60: 195/60 was what the GT-R originally had but 185 is probably already overkill for my powerhouse. Wink

Edit: just ordered the tires in 185/60

And they are mounted on the car! Thumbs up!

[Image: AEU86 AE86 - Banpei's new TA60 family cruiser]
I like the offset on the front wheels! Smile

[Image: AEU86 AE86 - Banpei's new TA60 family cruiser]
And from the side it shows that I definetly need some lowering springs!! Angry

[Image: AEU86 AE86 - Banpei's new TA60 family cruiser]
And at the rear I need some spacers... Or have rims with a different offset, but the chance for Celica Supra rims with a different offset is about zero. Sad

I still need to have the proper wheelnuts: I just attached them with the OEM wheelnuts (60 degrees) since I definetly need to bring the car to MOT tomorrow... So if anyone still has a set, send me a pm! Tongue
