Re:: What's Up? BMW 2002 / Matador coupe tail light conversion...

[Jerry Casper <gremlingts@xxxxxxxxx>]

  Went to my favorite low-priced U-pull-it parts yard
today after the weekly grocery run for the parents,
and looked for the emergency-brake variety of
drink-holder for my '94 Cherokee from an earlier
model.....no luck. I DID pick up a black sport
steering wheel out of one ( for use on a Gremlin,
maybe ). Went horn shopping next, found a nice 2-tone
set in a Buick Park Avenue for the Jeep ( dang, that
"beep" is annoying!). THen looked thru the trucks for
van parts , nada. Hit the foreign side last, saw an
old 2002 BMW sedan, thought about those round tail
lights, went and checked...the housings were there,
the lenses were gone, though. But, wait...they're
about the same size as the Matador coupe tail
lights....hmm...wonder if they'd fit? Well, the place
is cheap enough. so since they were only held in teh
trunk by the wiring, already unbolted, I went ahead
and got'em both. Some small pitting, but in decent
shape. I will match them up size-wise tomorrow, But I
thought they'd look like a neat customization on a Mat
Coupe. I'd thought about doing a Ferrari conversion on
a Mat, as we used to work next door to them, I could
have gotten a set of tail lights...probably still can.
But I didn't then, now I have some nice BMW 2002
chrome housings with a 3-way split, I think they'd
look nice on a Coupe. Would definitely be different!

Jerry in Virginia, thinkin' again....
