I replaced the BUM (Big Ugly Mirror - what is it, Vitalloni?) with the stock chrome (early model).

Attached Image

Sometimes those things you think are going to be easy ("quick wins") end up being total nightmares, but this was one of those that was a lot simpler and faster than I thought. For some reason I assumed the screw holes would not match up between the mirrors (seems obvious now), and that I would have to move the holes and fill in the old. Maybe I wasn't sure if the BUM was original to teeners with same mounting. Or maybe I'm a dumbass (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif). Unscrew old, clean off crap, new gasket and screws, and install. Five minutes, done.

Comparison of the two. The original mirror looks huge compared to the chrome one.

And now I realize I need to tackle THIS rust bubble near the antenna in the very near future. I'm sure that will take 5 minutes too... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hissyfit.gif)

Glad the mirror worked out for you. Looks good. Hopefully the metal is not too bad around that bubble.

Wow! It amazes what these gas tanks look like after 40+ years. Good argument for replacing the fuel lines and everything else too.

Bought the complete package from Tangerine Racing! All as part of my conversion back to D-jet. Everything's getting replaced or thoroughly cleaned.

Found a powder coat gun in the shop, tested on one piece, then taught my 7 y.o. how to do it. I think I'm hooked, little time and effort, great result. Now I need to find a big oven... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stirthepot.gif)

I replaced the master cylinder and rebuilt the pedal cluster. What a great difference. Now it's time to enjoy.

Swapped out the KYB's for some used Bilsteins. Really, not much of a difference. I think the Japanese shocks/struts get a bad rap...
