They are Cheviot rims, not sure the model name. 13x7 also unsure of the offset. Got them with the car, they should be the wheels ill be running when i get everything else sorted

Ta-da!

Got my speedometer cable custom fitted with the daihatsu end. It works but is about double what it should read.. Any body know of a fix..? Just not sure about the gears that go into the gearbox being interchangeable/universal as well.. Also got a daihatsu fuel gauge sender and replaced the mk1 one with it, first time welding so its all a little sketchy but works pretty accurately.



Dont judge my handywork! hahahaha

Coolant temp doesn't want to work for me at the moment either, will double check connections tomorrow. I will be putting in a aftermarket gauge for it later on anyway.

I really admire your work and the dash looks good!

Cheers dude, It's all coming together slowly. Our garage at home is usually full and i have to work outside/remove car cover etc everyday.. Not totally ideal, Would be awesome to just have a spot for it so i don't have to spend the half hour just packing up stuff before it gets dark. But what can you do

[Dubstein]

Ughh anyone have a clue how i could replace the mk1 hazard switch with a generic one to fit my dash..?
I can get a 2 pol rocker switch to work fine, but when trying to use indicators they act as hazards also but when i put the factory hazard switch to the same 3 wires it seems to work normal?

So confused !

Other than that i have the headlights wired up to a new switch, highbeams and cluster lights working. Getting pretty over wiring already >:| At least all the dash stuff will be finished soon. As for my speedo problem, i talked with the guys who made my cable up and they said the only real fix is to fit a ratio box for around $140. I will probably get this done once its on the road and i can do the ratio/km test.

All dash wiring is complete, can be all fitted up now but priorities are set on the InterPro rust. Pulled off the guards and the holes were a little bigger than i thought..











Here is a picture the pile of crap that fell out when the drivers guard came off haha



Anyone know someone South Brisbane mobile rust quotes as i don't really want to take the car to a shop just for a quote. The inner wheel well (Inside the cabin) on both sides need replacing. Would do myself but i dont know how to go about getting the whole curved thing happening hah

For the hazard switch get a on/off rocker that has 2 separate circuits and wire one for each side of the car. That way you aren't joining the left and right side together in a single circuit that will let the normal indicator switch feed back into the rocker switch to turn on both sides of the car at the same time.

Yeah cheers for that! Found a thread on vwvortex saying the same thing. Works now
