    OzBox fascia

    Geez Greg this has been fun with those holes in the textured sections...... getting there though. I've had to use a little stop putty to fill some imperfections so once it's painted it should come up good.

    The CD player opening is 180mm X 54mm. A bit more work to go and then paint it so should be finished tomorrow arvo.



    Screw holes under the RTS bump are gone, this is about the best I can get the repairs in these area's..... shouldn't be too noticeable once painted..

    I don't know.... gives it that repro look without the border....





    Ahh what the hell..... ok.....


    I'll give it a few days for the paint to fully cure then I'll box it up and send it to you.... it's not perfect but is the best I could do with the holes in the textured sections, there is also a crack visible on the textured section above the radio cutout which I welded up on the back side.... but you won't see it when the fascia is mounted.

    I assume you can use the idiot light lenses and diffuser from the fascia in Sinbox now???



    I also got around to finishing off wbute's speedo.... sorry it took so long mate but I'm better set up now..... looks good though and is fully calibrated, your lense was broken on one of the screw holes so I fitted a new Rares one for you.... PM me your address James and I'll post it up to you as well....

    i posted this on another thread, but is the border silver or chrome?

    I know "A Class" metal finishes do chrome on plastic... could look the goods.

    Mook, I got a quote of $100 per fascia to chrome the border so that is definately out... was costing me $120 to chrome HT/HG dash fascia's in Brisbane.... I am looking into another option that may work ok but until then the borders are being chrome painted.... The paint looks pretty good and will probably last as long as the original GMH borders....
