Nice to see a project like this, plans and work looks great! Keep on going.

Don't forget to update pictures @ this forum!

so apart from a forumpic whore you're a regular picwhore aswell.... nice.. i never knew the had E.A.'s in the US

I thought they were only in US? I'm not sure if I've ever seen a Euro spec E.A.

Im pretty sure they had them in Europe....E.A. is a german company

yeh they came in europe, i've seen way too many to all be imports

RADO dash shrank down..lol






14gauge wire 6 strand for headlamps

are you gonna re-wrap the dash or maybe paint it?

Well the plan, is to re-wrap it in black suede or black leather. If this dash doesnt come out good....I have another mint untouched rado dash to try on again....Thought about a fiberglass dash, but dont want it cracking on me

i say, run the wider flares, and just get some spacers.. NEVER sell those wheels
