Been doing a some work on this but haven't been taking many pictures.
I finally caved a bought a replacement gauge. My original plan was to use gauges you get on the puncture repair kits cars but I couldn't find the right size adaptor.
It have looked something like this
With the new gauge i instead made this
The holes aren't perfectly round but are in tolerance and can't be seen when the gauge is in
Cut away some of the centre console to get some better access
And everything went together some much easier with all the extra room
That part of the build is done.
All that's left to do is shorten some piping and re crimp some wires and the install will be finished.
Another thing this car needed was nicer looking wheels.after ages of looking for a set. The only things I really like had massive widths and tiny offsets. Meaning they would poke out alot
I eventually saw these, putting the data in on the willtheyfit site they did have a bit of poke. But it was the best I was gunna find used.
Here they are fitted.
Where is the poke I hear you ask? Well I didn't realize how much camber was added when the car is lowered. So ever so slight poke at ride height disappears when dropped. That's an accidental result right there.
The only reason the rear tyre is touching the arch is because the tyres are bigger than the front. Which is a tad annoying because they are practically new tyres.
