Banpei's new TA60 family cruiser

[banpei]

The Carina sailed through the APK (MOT) yesterday, so that means I can do the headlight conversion now. I had some sort of a problem as everything was depending on each other and the APK was nearing so I postponed that till now.

That means I have the following todo list:
1. Unmount current headlights and make template for brackets
2. Take new fenders home and cut the single headlight unit brackets
3. Make brackets from the templates and trial fit
4. Prepare fenders and front air dam for painting
5. Paint the fenders and front air dam in the same color as the rest of the car
6. Mount fenders and front air dam
7. Fit double headlights

I'm a bit worried about 5 as the last time I painted something on my car the result wasn't that great. However I have learned a bit in the past 8 years so I might actually dare to try it. And I can always rub it down using wet 1600 grit sandpaper as I have witnessed in an MCM video.
