Great new dash and awesome old tapes

Today we replaced a few bulbs and tore out the dashboard and painted it white. Used a can of Armor Coat enamel that was $3.99 at Canadian mafacka's and it took Mitch about 15 minutes to paint all the parts really well and another 5 to dry. The result is simply stunning the picture simply cannot do it any justice. I also reran the oil pressure gauge and Mitch made some holes and I wired it up to power so it lights up when we turn on the neon's with a toggle by the steering wheel.

What sucks though is that we screwed up the vents and our vent-selector is caught somewhere so I plan on ripping it all out tomorrow and fixing that, and since a lot of this grease and dirt from off our hands is hard to wash off I'm thinking another coat of white paint which will look great. Also planning to tidy up all the wiring because it's a total wirey reach-around at the moment...

We also shampooed a bunch of carpet with some Head and Shoulders and it looks FANTASTIC that was the best idea ever. Looks brand new in spots and smells great without any dandruff. What is also fantastic is my dads old tape collection which super awesome cause we got a tape deck in the glove box. Seriously look at this list:

• CCR's greatest hits
• Dire Straits greatest hits
• The Doors
• Rolling Stones
• Nirvana
• Gun's 'n Roses
• NWA - Strait Outta Compton (HAHAHAHAHA)
• Pantera
• The Beatles
• Deep Purple
• etc....
  

Gonna have a riot rockin' these tapes in this 60's GT style Micra. We sort of plan on doing the seats up too but can't find the right way to go about it yet.

Mitch actually lost the dashboard today.
