The car is still not registered... :( And little has been done to it over the past few weeks, as I have been getting assignment after assignment from school.. :( But thats the HSC for you...

I had the GTS steering wheel sitting on the cupboard and looked at it and said that it was not good enough to go on the car, so I got it and completely bare metaled the spokes, primed them and then gave them 4 coats of gloss black and they are nice and shiney..

Bare metaled and masked..




Primed..


Painted..




I have painted the two front rims the same gloss black, and they also looks heaps better with the hubcaps on... But don't have any pictures of that.. :( I still have to do the rears, but hopefully I can get them done next weekend..

I have also almost finished the GTS dash fascia..

I sprayed a bit of yellow paint on it to see which areas needed work (it was a bit hard with the whole thing being black..) I then circled the areas that needed a bit of work, and then set out to fix them.. Some will need to have a bit of bog put in, but overall I am happy..





It is almost perfect, but will need a little bit of bog (I'm going to get it tomorrow...) and then it should be like brand new.. I am very very happy with how it has come out considering that it was my first go at it and I did it with a soldering iron.. lol





The join line is just visible in some sections, and I am going to try and get rid of that with some bog.. Hopefully it will work..



I have scuffed up the rest of the dash with fine sandpaper to give the new paint something to stick to..



I have also started to fix the GTS speedo, and I know exactly what needs to be done to fix it... I have used a standard WB speedo, stripped it for some parts and have started to convert the cast bracket (that the speedo cable connects to..) to suit a gauge with the speedo at the top... It is a bit over the top, but I want to fix it and make sure it is done properly..
I will have to do a bit more plastic welding on the trip meter to fix the prong (that turns the numbers around..) that has been broken... And then it is just the speedo needle that I am going to get the gauge shop to fix and make sure it is balanced...

Other than that, I have been polishing little bits here and there, fitting stuff that needs to be done before rego, and just organising some parts and stuff for it to pass rego...

I am definatley at the slow part where little fiddly jobs need to be done.. :( It's slow, but vital to the car passing rego..
