Top work as usual Adam!!! Might be ordering a JDM one now, that looked like alot of rooting around

Don't, I've got 1 here you can use. You'll need to have a key cut but I can't see that being too much trouble.

I have heaps more stuff to purchase before I get to a fuel filler cap . When I get around to it and if no one else wants it ill buy it from you

updates? keen to see what your up to

Hmmm....update is dash is away, I just re-did the skyline badge for the dash, a horrible job. still waiting on the grill center back from linishing to reassemble, still waiting on my stainless back, still waiting on my wheel and cluster back. Got some parts back from zinc, and I've pulled the wiper motor off to do.

I've been building a shed out the back of my parents place so that's been taking up car time. The car will move in there then I'll strip the rest down. Kinda in a holding pattern for now.

I'll post pics of all this stuff when I get it back.

An update, finally. Did some more work on the interior, I had the remaining blue trim pieces dyed black including the door handles and the roof trim.

They came up pretty nice. While they look ultra shiny in these images, they actually match the door trims quite well.

I also had the dash badge vacuum metalized and the I masked it with blutac and sprayed it black. That was a tough job! It's very tricky to get it looking nice.

The blue dash I removed was in really bad shape. It wasn't until I took it to be repaired that I saw just HOW bad it was, full of bog and spray painted.

I had a pretty nice black dash I purchased a couple of years, it had no cracks but had been slightly damaged.

I called the Dash Doctor to see how he was getting on and he told me that while he could probably fix the blue dash, it was going to be pricey. I ended up having to use the black dash and have it re-trimmed. It wasn't such a bad choice because on closer inspection the black dash was really brittle and would probably have cracked after a while anyhow. The end result is great, he did a fantastic job, the badge fits flush and it also has the factory speaker hole.

Sexy dash Ad. Badge came up great!!

[EuroDat]

Thats a really neat job you have done on the dash. The skyline badge just tops off a perfect job.

[uras1]

so was the dash recovered? badge looks mint, same guy that does your other chrome work?

[Adzmax]

Yes the dash was retrimmed. The badge was vacuum metalized by a place in Dandenong, pretty cheap too. It's not chrome like the other stuff I had done. Only down side is it's not durable like chrome. Ended up ok though.
