Due to a severe bout of laziness lately I havent been to the shed much (it is also so damn cold).
But I finally pulled my finger out this weekend and did some more work.
I have marked and drilled out the holes for my gauges and idiot lights.
Then on Saturday night I made a wiring harness for the gauges and lights (much to my wifes displeasure this was done on the dining table), I have made the harness and used 1 single 22 pin connector so that I can unplug 1 loom and remove or refit entire dash panel.
I am sure I will add some switches to the dash so I will make a second loom with this in mind.
Sunday morning I then disassembled it all and prepped the dash for paint, After filling in imperfections, sanding then spraying filler and more sanding I grabbed my pressure pack of new black wrinkle finish paint, warmed up the panel under heat lamps only to find the new paint wont come out of the can.
So it looks like a trip back to supercheap to swap the can.
Here are some pics for those that are interested.
Wow that is a long winded story for not much work.
There is a large gap between the row of idiot lights above steering wheel and the 2 main (tacho & speedo) gauges as this is where the steering wheel blocks out the view.
