[turbo-tom]

Exactly What I was thinking Robbie! Tom just remember you can go out and enjoy it when it's finished! yeah we all have our moments when we loose motivation with a build but you've just gotta go crack on and before you know it all those little fiddly jobs get ticked off the list of things to do!

haha thanks guys , just want to get back out in it and possible sell it as i wouldnt mind going to the dark side of the moon for a change , well hopefully i shall get a good few days on it over the weekend fingurs crossed

well today was nice and sunny for once in brighton , so popped down to my local factors to get some exhaust paste, but i landed up comming back a few nice hilka cheap screwdrives £1.75 big or small ones bargain , and my final guage (pics below) which i got cheaper from other shops i could find , oh and i got me paste aswell

so today was one of those days doing the silly jobs like finish off all the paint underneath , seam seal etc, painted all in the footwells until i ran out of paint , and finished off my dash moved cb into the glove box

picys

painted footwells both sides...


my guages in order:vacuum,oil pressure,voltage,water temp , and rpm
if i had the room i would of had oil temp aswell but i dont:(


and finally a general view of my dash now



NOT MUCH LEFT TO DO NOW!!!

Why didn't you keep the standard water temp gauge in your clocks & use your spare pod for your oil temp?

That's a lot of carbon fibre effect on your dash maybe you could make some door cards up to match? Your switch cluster is really neat are you happy with it all?

tbh when i ordered the gauges it was a bit of a human blonde moment as i forgot that i had the original temp gauge , but to be honest like suzuki electrics its not the most accurate thing in the world
but yes i would of got a oil temp guage but yeah my mistake
also to use the tim(has to all match!)
oil temp guage you have to drill into the sump which im not to keen on doing!

regarding the carbon fibre effect there is alot of it but your looking about £40 to carbon wrap them , but yeah im pretty impressed on how its turned out its not exactly perfect but it suits my needs

cheers tramp

[Tramp]

To be honest, I wouldn't fancy drilling my sump either! It's just another point for oil to leak out of! Yeah I didn't realise it would be so expensive, shame really because it would tie it all together, but dash wise it all matches nicely, well done!

yeah exactly , looking roughly about £20plus for about half a meter square for the real top quality stuff , and also it can chip etc , but i got a bit left over and and tempting to use it on something but not sure yet!

yeah again im pleased how it came out aswell i had no plans for it just going along ad thats how it came out! not bad for a 16 year olds work better then xboxes thats for sure

[turbo-tom]

well hello guys starting to see light at the end of the tunnel sort of

The powering steering i would really recommend doing this mod it makes the steering very light and hell of alot more controllable!

splash of paint here and there ,





moved the pump higher up slightly and im running of one belt because im lazy


Thanks to all the guys that offered to make me up a wedge but i used a jimny box in the end ,because it just bolted straight onto the old sj box mounts/holes


also im going to get some custom pipes made up from my steering to reroute it better from South Coast Hydraulics as there are down the road from me


then the Z bar due to the steering geometry etc not my ideal thing but does the job at the moment but ihear people use merceddes arms what type/what car had them?



oh and yes cannot belive it i also have one of theses bad boys




so just all the touch up painting to do tomorrow , and also got some garden hose pipe to do my axle breathers which i might possible do tomorrow!
also in the process if trying to find some very slim line cooling fans as im going electric fans
