Coffee Glider update

Well the progress over the past 4 month has been slow. But now after watching Roadkill live the past weekend i whanna get the car done.

This is what has happen in the past month.

I had an extra pair of headlight glasses so i painted 2 of them with yellow glas paint. Looks pretty good, but i’m not sure i’m going to use them.

And i have always wanted 2 nice yellow foglights, but i’m not gonna pay 100€ for them. So i surfed the ebay wave and found these 4″ lights and they cost
14€ from China with shipping so i had to order them =)
