Rollin' coal and 53mpg!
it looks like an FD to me.
BTW, I've got cash in hand for whoever can make the sleepy kit, AND have it H.I.D. ready.
I planned on converting my sealed beams to H.I.D. anyway, but this has piqued my interest even more.

Tennis, anyone
I've already been there and done that, with the square
lights in the 1st gen, i like it. it's easy to do too. the only
problem is finding a square surround. that is plastic. I've
also came up with fabbing. the surround out of either fibre 'glass or thin alumimum. the 'glass would be the easier of the two IMO. Also to make a 'fixxed' pod out
of 'glass would not be that difficult. What i've been doing
is make a 'buck' pattern out of cardboard, trim, lay the sea'glass over that, add resin, let set, then soak the whole thing in water. the water makes the cardboard desolve, then all thats left is the fibre'glass piece.
