Going Green

[The Green Reek]

No, I'm not turning into a tree hugger but my reek has had a face change.
From This:


To This:


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:



Some other Pics:




See ya there.

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.

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.

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.


This is Teds handy work with some basic prep.


Holes cut and steel reinforced.


New instrument layout. Note: some old school gauges. Just in case.


A few wires to solder (about 400)


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.


Time for colour. Ever the shrinking violet, I chose black with a copper pearl.


Instruments mounted and loom complete. Note: The entire dash is now modular. It can be reasily removed from the car without any snip-snip.


I made a carbon fibre cover as well.


The completed dash.

Just something a little different.
Peter.

PS. See ya at Bathurst.

Hi Shonko
Here's the big image. I try on to put these on now, they just are too big on the screen.


Here are a couple more shots of interest.
Firstly a long shot showing the new console switches


Secondy an image of my new Shift Plate. My neighbour cad'ed this and got it laser cut in stainless.


Lastly. Whats that in the pocket? Keyless ignition and RFID reader.
