In fabricating a bracket, I drew some inspiration from the 6666 S13. I love this car. It seems to have mild cues of Bosozoku styling without being too over the top, such as the illuminated dice, and the musical air horns clearly visible through the front bar opening.
Not to completely rip Miura-san's idea off (okay well kind of), I fabricated a makeshift bracket out of strap, and mounted the horns downwards so as to protect them from water. I am still in two minds as to whether I utilise my stock horn button, or run a separate switch. If I'm going to get defected, at the end of the day, it will be for something a lot more serious than the horns, so I don't care too much for running another switch :)
Before I finish installing the horns, the bracket will be painted black for stealth and longevity, and the compressor and hoses will be mounted parallel.
Already I have decided the roof racks don't really suit the overall look I originally intended to go for, so they'll only be used of a weekend when Im cruising around from hill to hill with the Huffy Slider. Then again, the car is 3 different shades of yellow, 2 different primer colours, and has bogged rear guards, so i looks like crap right now anyway.
I also headed to my local wreckers and picked up a transmission cooler from an old Falcon. In true Bosozoku style, this will be mounted on the front bumper :)
Finally, I decided my blog needed some brightening up, as the old theme was looking dated. With the onset of a heap of assignments, work will probably halt again. Hopefully the project will be 99% done before the end of semester :)
