Thanks man,
The guages set me back about $700,as for the wiring,the car isnt wired up yet so I dont know,I keep buying rare shit instead of just getting the freekin thing runnin
Like the brand new GTV badges that rokked up today!!
Here is a crappy scan that I did of some of the ones that rokked up.
Ill get some better pics when i get a digi but basically the GTV badges have never been on a car and are still in their original packaging
Im going to sell the rear GT badge if anyone is interested and keep my eye out for a rear italic GTV badge..
The only things left to do body wise,are clear lenses and new blue dragon badges both of which are pretty common at the moment..But from here I am only going to put dosh towards getting the thing running ,On that note this is the highflowed CT20 I bought..
The next mechanical purchase will be a lexus IS200 6 speed box

Yeah he has some good stuff,and the price is pretty good when our dollar is strong aswell
No more cosmetic stuff for a while,knowing my luck I bet moisture has gotten into the bore after 5 years of not starting the thing and ill be up for another rebuild aswell

Thanks guys,getting really pumped about the whole thing..Next weekend will see a bit transformation as i plan to have all the interior back in and most of the mechanical work completed.
One question I have though,does anyone know places that can match paint,hopefully with a computer rather than by eye as the engine bay was matched and only looks the same colour in certain light.I need to get the front stone guard done..
cheers
