Re: Dash pad cure?

I done my gd dash in black vinyl and it came out pretty good, except the glue didn't stay stuck cos it was only cheap areosol can stuff. I have to re glue it but I've got proper stuff now so hopefully it will work. http://i258.photobucket.com/albums/hh264/79_lancer/galant/63ffb6ed.jpg http://i258.ph...

But the engine is one that has no silence shaft thing. I've heard that the auto trans might be a baby 904 torqueflite. Was just looking to fi...

Re: GD galant, hot house green. Aka 'The green machine'

Ok, so this week I've started tidying up my door cards and sprayed them black in vinyl paint. Also got some proper auto trim glue, so I can re do the dash.

Re: GD galant, hot house green. Aka 'The green machine'

Time for a quick update I guess.... It's been a while and progress has been a lot slower then I'd hoped :( . Windows are all in, rubbers are all done, carpet is half fitted. Bad point, is the vinyl trim on the dash came un-stuck. I guess the glue just wasn't good enough, so I'll have to re-trim it.....

I have a similar fuel problem with my lancer. Tried to start it the other day but the fuel is heaps dirty and not getting to the filter. I'm going to drain and flush the tank and see if that helps. Also think I have a blocked fuel line too so ill have to have a good look at it....... One day :p

Re: GD galant, hot house green. Aka 'The green machine'

The vinyl paint is about $10-$20 depending on where u get it from. Not sure how long it lasts, I've had mixed feedback on it. Some people say its crap and will come off, especially on seats, but if you prep the surface properly, it shouldn't come off. Just make sure you clean it with warm soapy wate...

Nah no other pics. This is how it was when I brought it, except from the dash and the rims. Some people dont like the jelly beans much, but I've always wanted some for an old school car. I think they will look good on it when it's done, but we'll see I suppose :)
