Again it has been a while between posts.. So here it goes..
Since my last post I have finished the GTS dash fascia and it is now being soaked in a barrel of caustic soda and water.. Here is a picture of it once all the plastic work was finished..
This will be is home for a while..
I gave it a light coat of black paint to see what it would look like (and to see if there were any other areas that needed work..) the WB RTS badge is just sitting there, while one 'idiot light' is dull and the other one is shiney because I started to fix them up.. lol
The lenses were crap as and needed a fair bit of work, so I decided to just sand them right back and remove all the crap that was on them aswell as the writing on them.. I went through these grades of sandpaper on them - 240, 320, 600, 1000 and 1500 - I know it was overkill, but the smoother they are before you apply the clear coat the better they look..
I was going to repaint the writing on them, but thought I'll just leave them blank until I can find a rooted dash with good lenses.. lol
Here are the lenses before the clear coat:
I struggled to get a picture after I put the clear coat on because of the glare.. So these will have to do..![]()
