just an update

installed three new gauges the other day, havnt wired them up yet though

happy with the mount, was a bit too easy




ps. sticker is just a joke

[DevilVT]

did well man good looking car, how much did you pay for the 3 gauges? and what ones are they?

[LARKIN]

could have a dinner party in that engin bay.

[dylanstone]

devilVT - yeh thanks man im very happy with it, the three gauges and rack costs $109 of ebay and comes with free shipping, insurance and tracking so i couldnt say no

LARKIN - i was surprised with how clean it got, good old mr sheen

[dylanstone]

[WogBoyz]

[calais24/7]

[dylanstone]

Nice and clean jw how much did you pick it up for? I dont think there VR Clubby's though?

thanks man, picked it up for 4000 with 170 000 kms. im not 100% sure what they are but i think their clubby's of some sort

nice vl btw, sitting really nice and its clean as

[calais24/7]

Thats a pretty good buy man, Yeah they are some sort of clubby's thats for sure, My vl has vr clubby's in all the photo's but it now sits on vy ss 18's, much better looking imo

[dylanstone]

yeh im trying to save for some 18's but eh

[calais24/7]

True, they don't look that bad though

[dylanstone]

True, they don't look that bad though

personally i like them, they just need thinner walls, might spray em black

[D-Rich]

love the dash and gauges.

[dylanstone]

got some interceptors and dress rims
i think they look better than the old clubby's

[booders9]

Love the look of dressd up stockies!

[WizzKidd]

Just need some series 2 tail lights to clean that back end up and clear indicators

[JAKE-26]

Nice car mate! looks like its coming along well.

shit that engine bay is mint! and how hard was the dash to paint, was it alot of work taking it all off?
good luck!

[dylanstone]

thanks mate, its not in good condition now though, took it off roading during schoolies lol

the dash is extremely simple to pull out, you first have to pull the part around the gear stick out which exposes 2 screws, undo them and take the ash tray out, theres another two behind the flap covering the fuses under your steering wheel and another two up above the speedo....after that you just pull it out from the clips and sprayyyy ><

i did it first go with no knowledge what so ever so it should be easy

cheers

[GEN3RATD]

howd you go wiring up those guages? im thinking about doing something similair in my ss
