Love those instrument gauges. They look as good as you can get for aftermarket replacements of the originals. Sounds nice and meaty too.

thanks Jerry Peter Nash in QLD does the dash kits (super simple plug and play) kept all the original bits as dashes have gone $$$ up !  , I've been doing some shake down driving as most parts are brand new (engine , gearbox, suspension ) Harry sounds great at 7200 too ! its going back to the workshop late April for some minor tweeks then ready to do some track days and a hill climb or two (once i adapt) and spring rolls round....

Time for an update!!


cars currently at the paint shop , took off all flares did some minor repairs on the inside of the rear arches and a few minor other repairs on the rear  . Fitted all 4 flares now mounted with nutserts , so if any flares are damaged I don’t have to pull the roll cage out to access them . Have fitted up the rear bobtail from ericks which came with Chinese packaging and stuff ….. anyhow that required some finessing to say the least….. I’d post some pics but this forum and pics does my head in and it’s late . Next week Harry will be out of the paint shop and back to MPC where hopefully my custom brake kit from Vari has finally been completed and will be installed so this car can stop its 594hp and 723 nm . Then fit up the new wheels and attend a drive day down the island and see what Harry can do .
