[70-1600]

But do they both work at the same time?

Ha! Good one! We'll see when I get them re-installed and put her in reverse...

Nice! At first glance, I thought it was Sapele.

Finished mounting the convertible top frame. Got it centered and added velcro to prevent the latches from rattling. Will lay the top over it for a while to let it settle before installing the top. Not many more driving days ahead as the weather in the Northwest has turned. Pat

Added some interior trim and worked on t-stat housing. Replacing sending unit and general clean of housing.

Good work! What fog lights are those...? Do you run them through the stock wiring, or through a relay (the relay being powered from the stock light switch)?

I'm considering putting these on my fair lady...

Mine are called Do-Ray and they were on the car when I bought it, though I switched the lenses to amber. Wiring is stock.

Those Eagle Eyes look very, very similar to mine.

Added a relay to the fog light circuit, following the simple instructions in this thread:

I have a few other little things to tidy up in the electrical system and then I should finally be back on the road. My Datsun & I are very short on miles this year, but all the broken parts and issues have forced me to repair or upgrade many things on the car. This is a good thing!

When I bought the fog lights...

...I also purchased a wiring harness that includes a relay.

I've read elsewhere that some owners have run their fog lights through the existing wiring on their Roadsters (which is controlled by rotating the light switch) without any issues. I'm being a bit more cautious with mine, given concerns others have expressed about aging wiring harnesses and the load on them. I'll "power" the relay in the harness through the light switch (instead of the included rocker switch) to keep a "stock feel" to turning the fog lights on.

Now to find the time to install and wire all this up...

Modified Toyota Corolla door stops and mounted them in my freshly painted doors. Saw them on Dynaguy's car and had to have em. They work great.

98-02 Toyota Corolla rear door stops. Shorten the foot/pivot end by 1 inch and redrill hole for the foot pivot (in the arm). Cut a 1x1 inch hole in the door and use 1/2" standoffs inside door between the door and the stop mount. This gives the post mounted foot a relief area when the door is closed.

Nice job on the limiters. Wish I had taken pics of mine before install. Just have to reduce the "swing" of the limiter. I used large fender washers and lock nuts inside the door pillar. They do work well. Pat

Thank you!

I finished my interior install! Then changed my tranny fluid.
