Hi!

My Daily is a 1987 KE TX3 Turbo lol I work nights so driving home at 4am means roos galore!!!!! So having a car I dont care about is a must.

Gets around 450 out of a tank.... also 100kw comes in handy!! Car has done 407000klms, motor far far less.

Nice KH, there are some really nice Suspension parts for those out there. I was thinking about getting mine track ready for a bit of fun.

I really like the tinted rear lights and I have to ask... What the stuff is called, where I would be likely to get some in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne and of course how much I would be looking at per can (if that's how it comes).
Oh only one other question... Is it difficult to put on?
I have an AX2 Telstar TX5 Ghia and I think it would look quite nice with the rear lights tinted or blacked out which ever is legal.

Thanks in advance

Its called Night shade, it comes in a spray can... we got it from auto one over ere, if they dont have it in stock they can order it for you, its about 15buks a can. We just sprayed it on like any normal spray paint, came out kinda dull though. ive heard a few people open the lights up and spray the inside...

Here's my 1985, KC TX3 Laser. It's currently a work in progress to do up a bit to get on the road for my gf.

Some pictures on the day I brought it home.

Started a project thread for it, will add some more info tomorrow after I've done a bit more work on it

Aaaahhhhhh You're a gentleman and a scholar

I know that it has been around for quite a while because I used to admire the cars that I saw with the lights blacked out when I lived in Perth. I think they look extremely cool on almost any white or light coloured car.
Hahaha... I thought I was about one of the last ones with the old yellow and black WA plates.
Anyway thanks for the info on that colouring for the tail light lenses... I'm pretty sure that most of the cars that I have seen done have it on the inside so that you still have the gloss on the outside of the lenses.

Cheers

my lasers.

this is my old KF GL, now belongs to my brother, 1.6 carbie 5 speed
before

after

and this is the new one picked it up 2 days ago, KH S 1.8 EFI, power steering etc. hadn't been started in over 4 years so the fuel pumps stuffed and the tank is full of gunk from the fuel. its also fitted with LPG

this was the cool bit, tho now removed due to legalities

gave it a quick clean
