47361, taking apart altezas
Posted by eclipticrider, May-11-03 06:06 PM
i've got a question about taking apart altezas, how can i do it?

i was thinking the same way as the headlights but i wanna be sure before i go and roast them lol

i need to take them apart to glue the red lense back on, and while i'm in there i'm gonna paint them to match the car.

i think that would look hot

well any suggestions or a how to will be appreciated

yeah, just like headlights but are a tad more sensitive to heat than the headlights. I'm guessing thinner plastic. I had my sister's apart but I accidently warped an edge. You can't see it, but I would really watch them in the oven and have it set to the lowest heat setting.

set the oven to like 200 degrees and check on them often. i warped one side when i tried it. and dont try and pry them apart if the glue isnt melted, you will crack the clear plastic piece (dont ask my how i know). maybe try a heat gun if you can get a hold of one. but it can be done in the oven...just dont set the heat too high.
