Needs a polish :P The water isn't beading :P
Looks nice!
cheers for all the input, ill put some more pictures up of the interior tomorrow arvo and also of the led conversion
gotta get the cash now for all the mods, will be done in all good time.
was planning on giving it a polish and wax tomorrow as well.
I'm honestly not that sure, the bloke i bought the car off was bit shifty, pretty sure it was done by a pervious owner cos he didnt know much about it
as above definately needs a good wax, why not make a weekend out of it and give it a full wash/cut+polish/wax, and clean out the interior, the difference will be amazing
yeah this weekend im gonna give it a wax and polish
Here are some photos of the LED conversion:

yeah the variations of the LED's, looks like an ebay job.
looks pretty good though
yeah it wouldn't of been done properly but doesnt look all that terrible.
the wiring from the jbs head unit to the speakers is pretty ####ed, whoever did it had no idea.. some of the wires are loose and held together by electrical tape.
need to get it fixed up asap
also wouldnt mind having a red LED in the needle because its hard to see with the blue LED
Yeah that'd be a must. You can't see the needle for shit haha
I can't wait till I get around to doing the sound system in my car. Wont be anything overboard, but it'll be nice having a sub for some bass and speakers that can actually be used up loud in comparison to the crap thats in there now.
yeah just gotta find someone that can do it for me
do you know what speakers n sub your getting?
cant wait to do mine as well, theres sony xplod's in the parcel shelf, there pretty average wouldnt mind getting some new ones soon
pictures always make dash lights look dodgy.. bet it wouldnt have black spots when looking in person... but yeah definetely get some coloured led for the needles
haha yeah it was taken from my iphone 3gs, so quality was pretty shocking.
would you know how much roughly it might be to get the needles done?
