finished fibreglassing gauge pod into the a pillar trim. just waiting for the spray putty to dry then I can sand and paint.

Spray putty? is this just to give you something that will sand back smooth cause the fibreglass is too rough?

Im half way through my custom triple gauge pod, made a mess of my first time fibreglassing

its my first time fibreglassing too, the spray putty filled a few little imperfections. I got the a-pillar colour matched at the hardware store, so will use a touch up gun to spray the final colour and just used pressure packs for:

plastic adhesion primer

primer filler

spray putty

then the top colour coats.

I'm a novice at spraypainting, if any of this is wrong please someone tell me before I finish so I can start again.

I fired up the aeroforce interceptor gauge yesterday but it seems you need the car actually running to choose all the things you want monitored or else it just resets when it can't see any values to display. I'd rather someone else drive it while I configure it other than idling away for 15 min.

Put up a little build thread on this in the exterior/interior when your done, interested to see how it comes out!

Finished servicing zf this morning, heres the rig I used to pump fluid in, when I used to do my bf sh*t got hectic and oil everywhere. Since im using the most expencive sh*t on the market I thought I better make something to minimise spills. I made this up and spilt next to none doing my fg this time round. Drum pump with clear hose and a little ball valve and a 18x1.5mm (I Think?) to screw into the fill hole.

Easy as...

Started putting in some wiring for my gauges when they show up.

Tapped into the cig plug for constant 12v and earth, Then tapped into the T5 bulb holder that's on the same loom for the 2 illumination wires. The gauges will dim with the dash now.

All hidden and heat shrinked up. plugged the ends of the wires for now so no shorts :P
