- Nissan Safari- fitting MB body. Has 37's, VH45 v8, etc.
Hi all.
So I've got a project on the go at the moment which involves a totally glass MB body. it'll never be an accurate replica (guards/tub cut for 37's, v8, nissan chassis) but there are a few things i'd like to get right.
I've ended up working for a fiberglass company (4wd fiberglass ) and basically am slowly working there to pay off the tub and am making a few of my own bits using existing molds. I'm about to start on my grille and this has me a wee bit
It doesn't matter how much research i do.. but i'm still confused. The mb has recessed lights in the grille, and the CJ2 /cj3 has them ON the grille- is this correct?.
Looking at the MB grille mold it looks like its made to take the recessed equipment- however the "holes" for each headlight are not round and are actually kinda triangle.
Is this normal?!!!
Also can someone please let me know which size/shape new headlights I should be fitting behind this grille.
Sorry if this has been covered to death.
Cheers,
NAthan
