Title: Going Green Post by: The Green Reek on Tuesday, 05 October, 2010, 04:07:17 AM No, I'm not turning into a tree hugger but my reek has had a face change.
From This: (http://i480.photobucket.com/albums/rr166/eurekacarclub/Member%20Rides/reekgeek/reek2-3.jpg) To This: (http://i480.photobucket.com/albums/rr166/eurekacarclub/Member%20Rides/reekgeek/DSCF0034.jpg) Lots of Mods for this year. Just getting her back on the road. I will try to get her up to Coffs. Either way I'll be there. If anyone is interested, Its a Holden SS/SV colour called Atomic done it 2 pack. My first time at a 2 pack so don't be too critical. New interia too: (http://i480.photobucket.com/albums/rr166/eurekacarclub/Member%20Rides/reekgeek/DSCF0037.jpg) (http://i480.photobucket.com/albums/rr166/eurekacarclub/Member%20Rides/reekgeek/DSCF0038.jpg) Some other Pics: (http://i480.photobucket.com/albums/rr166/eurekacarclub/Member%20Rides/reekgeek/DSCF0033.jpg) (http://i480.photobucket.com/albums/rr166/eurekacarclub/Member%20Rides/reekgeek/DSCF0032.jpg) See ya there. Peter Title: Re: Going Green Post by: CyCo on Tuesday, 05 October, 2010, 01:02:46 PM So, that's what my car would have looked like with 'Atomic' Green on black with black stripes. Pretty much what I was thinking og getting mine painted (minus one stripe).
No, mine's not painted, and not for a little while more anyway. Looks great Peter. ;) Title: Re: Going Green Post by: WebGoat on Tuesday, 05 October, 2010, 01:26:16 PM Bloody brilliant Peter ;D
Top stuff. PP. Title: Re: Going Green Post by: shonko on Wednesday, 06 October, 2010, 01:11:42 AM WOW! Looks gr8.........can't wait to see it in the flesh. (17 sleeps!!!!)
Shonko Title: Re: Going Green Post by: redreek(the stig) on Wednesday, 06 October, 2010, 09:52:21 AM shit 17 sleeps :o
Title: Re: Going Green Post by: Slug52 on Thursday, 07 October, 2010, 12:30:45 PM Guys I called in and checked Peter's green machine out on the weekend. It's one very smooth ride! Because Peter's an electronics wizard his car would fit in just as well at a NASA Expo as it will in Coff's. Great job Peter - especially with the paint - and all the gizmos! Slug.

Title: Re: Going Green Post by: The Green Reek on Friday, 13 July, 2012, 03:50:00 AM OK, I don't post very often but as some of you recently were talking about cleaning wires under the dash and new consoles, I thought I'd show my way.
My old dash needed a refresh and while it all worked I thought I could do it better. Firstly let me say - Thanks Ted. I got this new console from Ted a while ago and have been planning and preparing for a change ever since. (http://i480.photobucket.com/albums/rr166/eurekacarclub/Member%20Rides/reekgeek/2012-03-25181902.jpg) This is Teds handy work with some basic prep. (http://i480.photobucket.com/albums/rr166/eurekacarclub/Member%20Rides/reekgeek/2012-04-22182313.jpg) Holes cut and steel reinforced. (http://i480.photobucket.com/albums/rr166/eurekacarclub/Member%20Rides/reekgeek/2012-03-25181737.jpg) New instrument layout. Note: some old school gauges. Just in case. (http://i480.photobucket.com/albums/rr166/eurekacarclub/Member%20Rides/reekgeek/2012-04-22182035.jpg) A few wires to solder (about 400) (http://i480.photobucket.com/albums/rr166/eurekacarclub/Member%20Rides/reekgeek/2012-04-22182157.jpg) Now to tide my loom. Everything gets mounted on a board that slots up under the dash. Just 2 bolts are required to hold this. (http://i480.photobucket.com/albums/rr166/eurekacarclub/Member%20Rides/reekgeek/2012-04-29154030.jpg) Time for colour. Ever the shrinking violet, I chose black with a copper pearl. (http://i480.photobucket.com/albums/rr166/eurekacarclub/Member%20Rides/reekgeek/2012-04-28223049.jpg) Instruments mounted and loom complete. Note: The entire dash is now modular. It can be reasily removed from the car without any snip-snip. (http://i480.photobucket.com/albums/rr166/eurekacarclub/Member%20Rides/reekgeek/2012-03-25181843.jpg) I made a carbon fibre cover as well. (http://i480.photobucket.com/albums/rr166/eurekacarclub/Member%20Rides/reekgeek/20120701_185215.jpg) The completed dash. Just something a little different. Peter. PS. See ya at Bathurst. Title: Re: Going Green Post by: shonko on Friday, 13 July, 2012, 07:14:37 AM that looks awesome Peter. I would like to see a larger picture of the last image............but it looks fantastic, well done.
Shonko Title: Re: Going Green Post by: CyCo on Friday, 13 July, 2012, 11:45:13 AM Awesome stuff, good work!

Here's the big image. I try on to put these on now, they just are too big on the screen. (http://i480.photobucket.com/albums/rr166/eurekacarclub/Member%20Rides/reekgeek/20120701_185215-1.jpg) Here are a couple more shots of interest. Firstly a long shot showing the new console switches (http://i480.photobucket.com/albums/rr166/eurekacarclub/Member%20Rides/reekgeek/20120701_185239.jpg) Secondy an image of my new Shift Plate. My neighbour cad'ed this and got it laser cut in stainless. (http://i480.photobucket.com/albums/rr166/eurekacarclub/Member%20Rides/reekgeek/20120712_232409.jpg) Lastly. Whats that in the pocket? Keyless ignition and RFID reader. (http://i480.photobucket.com/albums/rr166/eurekacarclub/Member%20Rides/reekgeek/20120701_185141-1.jpg) Peter Title: Re: Going Green Post by: magooster on Saturday, 14 July, 2012, 05:35:19 AM Hi guys
What a beautifull example of what can be achieved by bringing life back to a Reek I hope the jurney was as nice as the car turned out. Magooster |
