The plan was to have a nice ke55 daily driver that was nice to look at and reliable.

I decided to keep the stock interior just tidy it up a little with reapolstering the seats in black, new black carpet, new black headliner.

I have bought 6 new auto meter guages which i am making a new gauge cluster out of.

The gauges include:

-Speedo

-Tahco

-Water Temp

-Fuel Level

-Oil press

-Volts

 

 

 

I am also taking out the ignition and replacing it with a switch for accessories, a switch for reds and a push start button.

 

I am putting in an alpine flip out screen above the shifter, two alpine SR speekers under the dash and two under the pastel shelf, a kenwood amp under each of the front seats and two kenwood subs fibreglassed into the boot.

Also fitting an alarm and power windows.

 

 

I have hidden all the wiring in the engine bay to make it look alot cleaner and attaching it to a drycell battery.

I decided to keep the 5k engine with a 5 speed with twin carbies and extractors with a 2.5" exhaust with dump pipe.

i pulled off the brakes to paint them cherry red.

A few things have happened since the last update.

I have the pulled the 5k back out to tidy up the engine bay. While the engine was out i cleaned it all up and painted it mat black.

I painted the x-member, brake lines, fuel lines and steering rack gloss black.

The engine bay is going to be all orange with black 5k with random chrome/stainless and red bits.

 

The gauges have been fitted into the dash along with the push start and the entire dash has been painted mat black.
