89 240 -->.7' update 200

posted by  someone claiming to be tjts1 on  Tue Mar 22 19:00 CST 2005 [RELATED]

In my previous post post someone suggested adding spacers from a 242 GT to move the headlight forward about one inch. I think that made a world of difference.

Before. No spacer


After.






I also added some black vinal sheets behind the headlight grills (not visible in the pictures) to round off the detail look. Another recent addition is a 240 diesel hood liner to quiet things down. I also removed the clips holding down the door sills on all 4 doors. These were the source of a lot of squicks over bumps. I reattached the door sills with silicone sealant glue. It works like a charm and quiet as a mouse. Just a little stinky untill the silicone cures.
