So as I said spent the days over at the old man's



Stretching the legs of my new Halfrauds Tool Kit box thiny (Down to £50!). I usually steer a clear of tool sets like these, but tbh for £50 it's got absolutely everything and would recommend it to anyone.

First on the agenda was the lion which is detailed above, and second was painting my brake calipers. But I'd left the paint at home. So third on the agenda was my dash fascia.



Few things needed to be done behind there, so I'd been putting it off until I had the time and the bits I needed to do all the jobs in one. Having battles with the inner workings of a French Car's dash before I knew how taxing this can be.
No.1 job was I just needed to replace the entire fascia, as you can see in the pic above there's a nasty mark near the hazard light switch, and more scratch like marks near the stereo slot so I'd bought a fascia off eBay to fit.

Whilst I had the old fascia off I wanted to: Replace the bulbs behind there (Three were out at this point, so I replaced the lot so one wasn't brighter than another etc.), and get the stereo hooked up to the aerial. (Who in this car's past put this expensive sound system in, with this kickass HU, only to not spend £5 on an adaptor to get the radio!)

I had had serious thoughts to actually spraying it black, as I thought the original silver one I had looked odd. The one from eBay however turned out to be a much "moodier" silver, that suited the car's dark interior much better.

Some random in progress shots:









Two biggest hiccups were getting the air vents off. Which are a total sod, even if you know what you're doing. And changing the cigarette lighter over, as the fascia I bought came with a three prong and my car takes a two prong. So I had to jimmywiggle the old lighter socket out to fit the new fascia...

anyway, finished article: (Meant to take a picture in the dark, but it's still light at my bed time these days)


Me and the old man very pleased with a days wrk, even if we didn't get a chance to do the brake calipers. Next time gadget... next time...
