Simplyhonda's 79' 1200
Got my front bumper over rider installed. Yeah! Love it!
I also am starting work on my front spoiler. You can see how messed up the front pan is.
Time to hide it. More photos as it progresses, but here is the start.

Are you using... An Eg hatch front bar?
That looks alright. Interested to see how you get it to fit, and what it looks like in the end :D

No, it's actually off a 90's Jaguar. Just a random junkyard find.
Getting it to fit is going to be a bit tricky but anything is possible.
We'll see how it turns out.

Hah, I figured out it wasn't one after driving passed about 3 today, and noticing they all have little fog light spots on them >.>simplyhonda wrote:No, it's actually off a 90's Jaguar. Just a random junkyard find.

But, decent pick by the look of it.
Looks like you only need to trim the back a tiny bit, where it goes passed whe wheel arch

My Chrome gauge rings arrived today, and they look awesome!
Honda should have done these from the factory like the center gauge rings.
Everyone should get a set of these. The quality is fantastic, they look OEM.

Re: Simplyhonda's 79' 1200
Well, Guess I will be taking my makeshift dash clock off. That sure didn't last long. Didn't make it out of the garage.
This bad boy popped up for sale over the weekend - against my better judgement I had to go ahead and get it.
Not everyday you see one for sale here in the states. I knew eventually I would try to get a Jeco. Just didn't expect it
to be this soon! Super excited!

Ran across a pretty nice set of used floor mats yesterday for real cheap!
Scrubbed them down & they cleaned up real nice!
