Good job with the rattle cans :afro:

I wouldn't use t-cut though, get yourself into the detailing section and see what is recommended :wink:

finished uni now, back home so should be lots of progress in the next few weeks, im still on the hunt for some coilovers, colour coded bumpers and i think i want a vento front :P

well my latest purchase is some new clocks, as i wanted some with an RPM counter rather than a huge clock  :grin:
Pretty sure they are anni clocks, maybe someone can tell me?  got them cheap as you can see there is a crack in the front, will get a new one at some point.

You can use the plastic bit from your old clocks to replace the cracked one. There's 8 or so screws holding the front to the back of the dials.

you can see in the picture, the old one has no screws its clipped or glued in

How about transferring the guts over to the better case rather than just the screen?
