Probably not, i Do like these allot now :y:

If i keep these I will just roll guards and mini tub (hammer inside guard in)

And it will be a wile untill i can get the finance for new tyres, and suspension mods, as i have no decent stable income.

that looks great mate how long did it take to do that??

...the guages?

Not very long, less then 2 hours. but that was including sanding the holes bigger as the hole saw is notquite big enough, and painting.

Looking great man. I too run 3K carbies on my 5K. They ran fine but now need a rebuild.

I like your work with the guages, they look nice :bash:

 

And about your speedo, I did the same with my 30 when I stuck the reco 4K in. Looks and works fine. Maybe you should pull it apart and have another look??

shoulda put 3 gauges :y: looks a little empty. but does look awesome, and ur 5k is soo shiney!

I thought about putting an altimeter/volts in but that cost even more. But will be piss easy to put one in later, just get 2 more aluminum plates.

I wanted the 5k to be shineyer, but only had autosol do do polishing with...no power tools, so couldn't be bothered.

 

And Jon, The adomiter is fine now, it has worked it self out, except the very last cog, but it will be a wile until i need that one i think.

 

Thanks for the comments gyes, makes it that bit more inspiring to do more.

I have a couple of things to update. they will come later.

 

As i cracked my grill in the crash :bash: so i glassed it up.

So decided to paint it aswell.

I got a spare grill from Ryan to experiment on.

TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK Please!!...reason why.

 

(I was thinking gloss black surround, white grill)

 

On the left gloss black

On the right matt black with white grill

Left glossblack

Right gloss white(over the top?)

 

Choices

1 all matt black

2 all gloss black

3 all white

4 combination gloss black, white grill

5 combination matt black white grill

6 (4 reversed

7( 5 reversed

8 get a colour match of the car and use that

WOW, thats allot.

Oh and i am putting the chrome strips back in, and i now have the original badge.

Cheers

Doug

I believe all gloss black would make it look awesome. There is a 30 running around near me which has one gloss black and looks awesome, so that's what I'm basing my judgment on.

yeah gloss black looks hella clean!

Matt black with the grille secton painted white to match the rear vent grilles
