This is just a quick guide on how to fix the headlight bracket mounts, located on the lower portion of the headlight housing. This guide assumes you have the broken or cracked pieces.

Supplies you’ll need:

• Rubbing alcohol for cleaning
• Q-tips
• Paper towels
• Sandpaper (I used scrap bits of 400 grit)
• Loctite Plastic Epoxy (Home Depot)
• Some small paintbrushes
• Rubber bands and/or clamps

Following the Plastic Epoxy instructions, you’ll want to thoroughly clean all sides of the broken piece and the edges of the hole in the headlight housing. Use alcohol and paper towels (Q-tips for the hard-to-reach areas). After everything is clean, test fit the broken or cracked piece into its original position to make sure it lines up. You may need to do a little sanding of the edges so that everything fits properly. Take your time doing this, it’s important so that everything lines up afterward. Lighly sand any interfaces between the broken parts and the headlight housing, it promotes adhesion. I recommend sanding a little outside the broken area so that you have some room to “anchor” the epoxy.

Open the epoxy per the instructions on the packaging and mix a quarter size amount in a plastic dish of some sort (doesn’t need to be anything fancy, I used the plastic that the epoxy came in). Mix it well and apply liberally to all sides of the affected pieces. The trick now is to either hold the piece there by hand (applying pressure) or use clamps and/or rubberbands to hold it in place. The product claims it sets in 5 mins, but I found that it needs more like 10-15. Feel free to make another pass of epoxy after you’ve clamped it down just to ensure every nook and cranny has epoxy in it. Here’s what the final product looks like:

Nothing pleasant looking, but it’s functional and sturdy if prep’d properly. Allow the parts to dry for 24 hours before re-installing the brackets.

If you have a hole in the housing but nothing to fill it with, try out JB Weld KwikPlastic (Home Depot). It’s a putty made for plastics that hardens to a sandable, paintable finish. Again, it’s not going to look that great, but it’s better than a hole!

I have recently stocked up on a few first generation (91-93) 3000GT and Stealth ECUs (turbo and non-turbo). Additionally, I can take your non-working rebuildable core in to lower the price. If you are looking for one, don’t hesitate to contact me.

I just purchased some new suspension components to replace my aging ones, which is causing my front end to “wander” and jerk side to side. Here are the Moog part numbers I found based on some research:

MOOG Part # K80186  {#K9475} Sway Bar Link Kit (FRONT – listed as same for non-turbo and turbo, this has greaseable fittings)

MOOG Part # K80877  Sway Bar Link Kit (REAR – listed as same for non-turbo and turbo)

MOOG Part # ES2347RL (non-turbo) ES3044RL (turbo) Outer Tie Rod End (FRONT – greaseable fittings)

You can purchase these parts from RockAuto.com or eBay (make sure they’re actual Moog parts and not just interchanges with another OEM mfg)

Ever wonder how people actually “robomod” their 2G headlights? Here’s a guide on how to do just that, with a little bit of southern twang thrown in for good measure.

First, and most importantly, this guide will only work on 1994 model glass headlights (3000GT or Stealth). Lexan/plastic headlights are a huge pain in the butt to work with because the plastic covers themselves are painted, as opposed to a painted insert underneath a clear glass cover found in 94 models. Check my Parts for Sale – 3000GT Glass Headlights section for deals on glass headlights.

Comprehensive supply list:

• 1994 3000GT/Stealth glass headlights
• 1 Phillips screwdriver
• 2 Flathead screwdrivers
• Utility knife
• Plastic sandwich bags to store things
• High-temp spray enamel (I used gloss black, 500*)
• Windex/Foaming glass cleaner/Simple Green
• Kitchen sponge (the green/yellow ones–Scotchbrite)
• Lint-free towels (I used newspaper)
• Latex or Nitrile gloves
• An oven
• Black RTV

Here is a rare model kit 3000GT VR4 produced by Lindberg in the 1990s. It is one of the biggest models of the 3000GT you can find at over 9″ long. I was fortunate enough to come across a sealed box so I took pictures. Unfortunately, I won’t be the one to open it
