New exhaust pipe and custom made mud flaps

Everything on my Daihatsu Taft looks pretty fresh now, at least from a distance. The only things that I have not put my hand to yet is the exhaust pipe, rear bumper and tail lights. So today I took care of the exhaust pipe.

Got a new air filter and gained some space

One of the first things you'll notice when you pop the hood of a Daihatsu F50 is that big black tin jar to the left.
It contains the air filter and it's designed to handle some pretty brutal conditions, like sandstorms and river crossings. Thing is, it's a bit of an overkill for my daily riding conditions since there's not many deserts around here and I tend to use the bridges. So I took it off.

Toyota Blizzard - Vintage illustrations

The Daihatsu Taft was also sold as Toyota Blizzard - I think that was from 1980 to 1984.
It was made in the Daihatsu factory in Osaka and it was pretty much identical to the Taft except for the engine, badges and some minor details. Also, I don't think they where ever sold as a left hand drive.

Made two clocks

This post is about clocks, a rather sensitive subject to me. You see I didn't figure out how to tell time until I was fifteen, and I still mess it up from time to time (Oops, unintentional pun, I promise).

But this post wasn't meant to be about my childhood, it's about these two clocks that I put together today.

Have some stickers

As you might have seen in an earlier post I made a new set of stickers for my Daihatsu F50 Taft.
I made the logo at the front of the hood to match the original, both in font and spacing.
The others, Taft and F50, are my own versions of the originals. The diesel sticker was a redesign of the one that came on the 40-series Toyota Land Cruiser.
If you want some I'd be happy to share.
You can either have stickers - I have a few extras - or you can have the (vector) files sent to you by e-mail.
