Found one... 3000GT :)

[james6546]

I wouldn’t feel too bad about it, I’ve spent more than that now and mine is more rust than car…

The wheel hub is actually pretty easy to take off, I’m a novice and it didn’t take me much effort. Haven’t gone as far as the bearings though or taken the hub fully off due to not having a ball joint splitter that fits. Same with brakes, easiest car I have worked on to change them on. So far nothing has been seized!

The meguiers headlight polishing kit has worked well on stuff in the past for me, but not tried it on the GTs lights yet

font wheel bearing is pretty straight forward compared to the rears . rob does the replacements .they are different fit than oe ones but still easy enough to do . got a fair list their for a car that price tho .you aways end up spending cash on these cars anyway to get them the way you want .

Mitsubishi changed from studs to Bolts on the later cars

Fix window screen blower

Is that the vent in the dash that needs replacing? If so i would move that down to the next list… or even the one after that!!

[michael.hedges]

No that’s the screen demister… No air out the window screen vents at all. Expect the cable has popped off

[maxxbradley]

Ah ok fair dos mate. The vents is a dash out job and is far too difficult for what it achieves.

[james6546]

Looks good, what did you use for the lights?

[michael.hedges]

Auto Glym headlight restoration kit

£25 in Halfords at the moment but you need a drill

[bowiespacemonkey]

Those lights have come up nice! I may buy a kit for my newer gto…Did you take them off to get in the corners with the drill??

[michael.hedges]

Yes I removed both to restore them

The thing to remember is with that kit is to keep the dust to a minimum otherwise the sanding pads get eaten up quickly.

Tip, Even thought the instructions say to use the first lot of sanding pads dry I in the end I used a spray bottle on all the sanding pads as the pads lasted longer and it was easier to work on.

[bowiespacemonkey]

Good tip, I’ve got a half decent drill with side handle… Only they aren’t as peely as the before shots. Still I’d do the same if it has good results. I was looking at various kits wondering what the best one would be, and did actually look at this one

[bowiespacemonkey]

I’d be doing it too some 99 lights, so I’m also wondering if the raised bubble part of the lights will be a bit tricky with the drill, not being flat and all

[michael.hedges]

I think the 99 lights are doable but would take it slow.

I found having the drill on 1/2 speed was better then full speed for control

What was wrong with the window switch ? I need to have a look at mine but haven’t had time yet

[michael.hedges]

On opening the unit i found all the switch connections black.

I cleaned them all off

I also shaved a tiny bit of plastic off the driver’s up switch button. Your see a little stopper on the switch itself for up movement. I shaved that also to help close the window
