small update, had some old sony hi-fi speakers i had no use for but didnt want to bin as they were still good so decided to wire them up in the back of the car

plan is to fit some better speakers at some point but its a start

 

[Belly93]

Update since not had any in a while, bought a couple of mafs from hoopdub and had one fitted , fitted an oil pressure gauge purchased from ashley sw, thinking about painting centre console and looking at changing door cards,
Ill get a pick up of the gauge soon

 

[Belly93]

 

[Belly93]

did a brake service as i thought the pedal was feeling a lil spongey and found i could do with a set of shoes at some point also needs a rear cylinder and track rod end :/ cylinder purchased to be fitted dam dark nights and only having weekends free soon to be sorted

 

[camoxodka]

[Belly93]

[mottymicra]

Nice blog mate , the black centre consoles really make a difference !

Mine was grey before but black just makes a really nice impact!

 

[Belly93]

goin to paint it red tomorrow and see how it looks and i have dials where your heater control are

 

[mottymicra]

What dials you got there, was thinking about doing that myself. How hard were they to install?

 

[Belly93]

not hard at all the hard bit was relocating the heater controls not sure if you can see in the pic but there at the bottom on the centre console

 

[Belly93]

and its an oil pressure gauge3 i only have one in atm

 

[mottymicra]

Ah I see, you gunna build a shroud around it?

 

[Belly93]

na might get a heated screen at some point so it will be removed completeley

 

[Belly93]

[Chogy]

[Chogy]

[Belly93]

 

[mottymicra]

How did you get the hazard/rear window heater surround out?

 

[Belly93]

It was easyer cos i had the heater controls out, i pushed the switches out from the back and the carefully prised the surround out using a flat screwdriver

 

[sr_steve]

Are you still driving this?

 

[Belly93]

Yeah i am steven

 

[Sdperkins]

Mate looking sweet as!!! One small idea with the painting the dash, how about you paint the inside of the glove box that sparkle red?? Think that would look cool.

 

[Belly93]

I might give it a go

 

[Sdperkins]

Think it will match it nicely

 

[Belly93]

I love it more because you cant buy it in a shop

 

[Sdperkins]

Yeah i know what you mean, always the best when custom

 

[Belly93]

The red is buyable buy the sparkle is special

 

[Belly93]

[Belly93]

and the reason for the lack of micra mods

 

[sr_steve]
