LongJohnSilver Posted July 15, 2012 Author Report Posted July 15, 2012 Went up to caloundra to buy a few parts yesterday! This was the result: Clock dash and shitty broken LH mirror out.. New LH mirror and tacho dash in! A big thanks to COROLLAANDY and PHATKE20S who installed them and dropped heaps of knowledge on me at the same time! :y: Quote
PHATKE20S Posted July 15, 2012 Report Posted July 15, 2012 Yeah no worries mate, happy to keep the spirit alive in a few generations :-)) P.S. A bit of advice to anyone doing this dash change..... take the Factory Am/Fm radio out first & throw it away..:-( Quote
LongJohnSilver Posted July 16, 2012 Author Report Posted July 16, 2012 Just bought a remote central locking kit off eGay, expect lots of pictures this weekend when I install it! :greenbounce: Quote
LongJohnSilver Posted July 16, 2012 Author Report Posted July 16, 2012 Uhg, those aint fun. Dedicating my whole saturday morning to installing it haha, if you've got any tips or advice I'm all ears! :y: Quote
LongJohnSilver Posted August 9, 2012 Author Report Posted August 9, 2012 So tonight I went for a drive to pick up these: Perry 4-2-1 extractors! and A K50 gearbox! I've been lazy and still haven't got the central locking in yet, the el cheapo ebay kit I bought seemed to have 2 less screws than I needed. Of course I found that out when I had the door cards off :bash:. But I've got enough money to get an exhaust made, so that'll be happening after I fit the extractors. Quote
LongJohnSilver Posted August 11, 2012 Author Report Posted August 11, 2012 Weather shields! Rear ones were a perfect fit, I tweaked the front ones ever so slightly and they fitted in great too! Cheers Reed! :y: Quote
B.L.Z.BUB Posted August 11, 2012 Report Posted August 11, 2012 (edited) Weather shields! I tweaked the front ones ever so slightly Sell people cheap gear, on credit, off my own car, personally deliver them to his front door, and he still finds something to moan about. :P All good bro, glad you like them. :y: that colour is good too, I might have to make some more sets up in that colour I think.

LongJohnSilver Posted August 12, 2012 Author Report Posted August 12, 2012 mmm shiney! :greenbounce: Dat a$$ Tried to clean up the K50 today too. This was the result after an hour of wire brushing, a can of degreaser and some mild pressure hosing: There's still some gunk on the bottom, I'll try to finish it off tomorrow. I booked the car in for a service/checkover with an old mechanic friend of my dad on the 14th, hopefully be able to get the K50 in then as well! Quote
Trev Posted August 12, 2012 Report Posted August 12, 2012 Get some oven cleaner onto that gearbox if you want it clean. Quote
LongJohnSilver Posted August 12, 2012 Author Report Posted August 12, 2012 Get some oven cleaner onto that gearbox if you want it clean. I'll give it a go! Any particular way I'd have to do it with oven cleaner? Or just the same "Spray on, Hose off" thing like the degreaser? Quote
