With the beautiful weather this weekend, I've started on a few
little jobs designed to spruce up the Alpine. It turns out, this
stuff can be as frustrating as the big jobs. Any help with the
following will be greatly appreciated.
1. I have always had outside screw rear tail lenses. Recently,
I found a set of amber inside screw lenses, but the lenses don't
appear to be threaded. I can think a few ways to bodge them on
there, but I was hoping someone would know the type of screws
that are supposed to be used.
2. My car is a Series V, but with an early series grill. (Being
a novice, I didn't even realize this when I bought
the car.) I like the early grill and am thinking about other
ways to expand the "early series look" motif. One thing that
seems like it would be easy is to change to the all chrome bumper
stops. Does anyone know if the bumpers changed at all on the
cars? Could I just swap the stops or would I need to get early
series bumpers? Now, how hard would it be to swap those rear
fenders for the big fins!!! I'll probably come to my senses,
but right now I'm actually thinking seriously about it.
Theoretically, the front directionals could probably be changed
over too, but I'm not sure that I'd want to. Has anyone
ever seen a car like this (Series V doors,
windows, spare tire, gas tanks, but early series grill,
directionals, bumpers, and fins)?
