I think it is correct.
But I could be wrong.
I know mine doesn't, but I think it should

The ones on the pink one stops short of the badge Grant. But they are also upside down lol

Did a bit more tonight after work

Restored dash turned up and couldn't be happier

From this




(That's not my place so no I don't have those parts in the back ground forsale )

To this in only a week


So decided on the way home the orange red motor needs to be red

Bit of tape, cardboard and plastics here and there and she's done




Had one fan of the job done

How much of a prick was it to mask up?
I would love to repainted my engine in the LC, it lets the rest of the car down.
Don't know if I will be able to get under the tripples though

Not as bad as I thought. I got a set of tripples for it so if I put them on I'll pull the extractors off and get the back part of the block.

Its far from your car Grant so this will do. Something like yours it would probably be quicker and easier to just pull the engine out imo

Yeah. Im waiting

Patience grasshopper

Hot tip for that kinda job, alfoil is real handy over wiring and the like....

Good tip. That's a great idea.

I just pulled the wiring out as I'm changing it but will try that should the need arise. The stuff on the inner guard was under a plastic sheet but its also getting changed.

Do some work ya slack dogs

[IMORAL]

Thanks for the advise, might give it a skip for a while.
I do like the idea though.

Well done

Its not that bad to do Grant. Especially on that rig of yours. You'd be surprised where you can get the paint to go. I'm still shocked I didn't end up with over spray every where

That fuel line going to the pump is a shocking job

[IMORAL]

That fuel line going to the pump is a shocking job

I didn't do it

That said it supplies the required fuel so it's doing its job so shut up

Although the original harness was pretty good for a car this age I ran a new harness from the firewall forward. Used this wrapping stuff instead of convulted tube.





Cut the plastic off the crimps. Then crimped, soldered and heat shrink





Rewired the dash because I changed from a circuit board one to no board

Just has two plugs to undo




After putting the dash in and out 30 times it's finally done



Then pulled the indicator switch apart to get the horn working and put an aftermarket wheel on. The Gtr wheel can go on the Gtr when I get to it



Then pulled it back off cos while cleaning up I found the circlip I forgot to fit. Dough!

Just got to finish off the wiring under the dash and fit carpet and inside is done!

The dash resto come up pretty good

[IMORAL]

Looking good mate.
Can you get one piece aftermarket carpet for the little toranas ?

Dunno. Was just going to get a caddy boot mat and trim it down

Dont think you can

So wiring under the dash is done
Door trims back on
All wiring is done a shit even works so happy days

Grille and hl surrounds back on. I wanted to get them refirbed but brought new bumpers instead



Didn't have the bracket or switch for the hand brake so welded a couple of m3 bolts to the hb and fitted a limit switch I had laying around so the brake light now works in the dash



Gave it a squirt of paint while it was out



Made a couple of hinge pin removers on the weekend ready for when I start the Gtr








Sold most of my model cars years ago but still kept the torries and Walky.
I reckon it's a close colour match



Took them out of the cupboard and put the in a display thingo in the shed now

Probably will be broken in a week cos something things get thrown around in there lol
