Teddy's Ke70 Plans !

[Teddy]

Hey all

 

Well, i thought i may as well tell every one what I'm planning to do to my car, hopefully get some feedback, ideas etc.

 

First thing is finish off my center console, its from a Ke55? originally, and its going to include cup holders - a world first for ke70s ! - finished in fiberglass and painted *you guessed it * black :) !

 

Secondly i have 2 ideas for the gauges.

- First idea is i would like to purchase a T18 Gauge set (i know where to get one :D) and put it into mine. This means i don't have to get gauges and go completely custom, instead i can just modify the excising bracket and pop it in (its just longer on the left side, otherwise its all good) - see pic. - i would have to mold up the left over area tho

 

- second thought is to mold over the radio area so its 1 flat panel as such, and the get 2/3 gauges - electric oil pressure, and water temp? (what gauges would you recommend i get?) - and mold it into that.

 

Next thing is to give the gauge cluster a make over ! (yes, i can here you going grown..!) - i would like to make the *backround*light for the cluster Artic white, and make the gauge letter and needles Red! - there is an article on antx.com how to do this... Click me; but you have to sign up to look @ it.

 

With all of that done, i need to put my roof lining in (ya, I'm a lazy ass lol, ill get to it !) re-colour the bottom of the door plastics... i have to do them much stronger this time, always being rubbed by door.

 

Oh and i also have 2 get a fuse so i have my door light and digital clock back :P !

 

i think that is everything ; any ideas? comments?

 

Cheers

I think the T18 dash cluster looks ugly, stick with your csx one matt, once you start hacking you can't just put it back the way it was..
