Wow, doing it properly, huh? Nice.

Dunno about the white interior, though; it'll be a bitch to keep clean.

You're not gonna paint the top of your dash white, are you? Thought about the reflection on your windscreen?
Or have you already started painting it that blue colour? It's a little hard to tell.

the dash is going to be black and just the instrument surround and radio surround are that pale blue i've been using....not white, its just looks white in the photo. never thought about the glare....dash mat perhaps

should look tops mate, if you find a dash mat, please let me know where from, cos i couldn't find one at all, anywhere in SA! apart from getting it customly made up.

My spare car's got a dash mat... I don't want it cause I fixed the cracks in mine, mostly...

So if they're so rare, maybe I should auction it off instead of giving it away with the car : p

Righto yet another update of the pulsar....ok windscreen is in, dash is all painted and in, motor is stripped and currently getting the machine work done to it. I think is just been over a year since i started the project so im setting a goal for prolly April next year to be on the road.
Heres a few more pix...

i polished the the inside on the intake when i opened it up for the vl tb, so i continued to the outside...anyone know a quicker or the correct way to do it?

Gah... reckon a satin or low-sheen finish would have been the go for the dash, rather than full gloss, dude...

I'd be amazed to see anyone say that doesn't look terrible; you can't be happy with that, can you?

pwinkel20 · Post by **pwinkel20** » Mon Sep 24, 2007 7:44 am

oh really i didn't mind it...was just trying to freshen it up a bit
