Really like the vid and hope to see some pics. at about 4:50 looks very similiar to Austin wouldn't you say? Nice twisty roads! Your toyota nationals is about same time as texas?

We have lots of nice twisty roads 
I haven't read enough about Texas to draw a comparison, but Toyota Nationals is basically a drinking and car fest... We book out an entire hotel for the Easter long weekend, and drink ourselves silly on Friday night... Saturday is the show n shine, and Sunday will be a motorkhana event (in the past, it has been drags at the air strip, but council said no to that this year)...
4 weeks to go to get my car in tip-top shape...

I never drink myself silly...well once but I lost the whole day and it's not as much fun when you can't remember. Sounds like a good time.
I almost fell asleep with the first minute...glad I didn't...the rest was good..... NOW POST SOME PICS!!!!
Ok, so I have found the time (yay for public holidays!!!!)
Here are the pics from 2 weeks ago:
Recovered console: (Also did the same with the handbrake cover)
Shoddy pic of the repaint:
Wish I had some better pics... But it looks brand new now... A bazillion times better than it did!
No pics yet of the switch, as we haven't decided where to mount it yet...
Also found out that my odometer was rolled back
(I bought the car with 81,000kms on it... This service sticker begs to differ
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now, less than 2 weeks to go till Toyota Nationals, we have a few things left to do...
- New IC piping
- Polishing up the engine bay
- New radiator
- Guages (Boost, oil pressure, and water temp)
Water temp guage:
Unfortunately, we have had some issues with the stock guages of late, and once we have the new IC piping, radiator, and exhaust, we will be winding the boost up a little bit, so think it's best we have some new, reliable guages.
We will be mounting the guages where the climate control currently is, and moving the climate control to just above the glove box...
Fingers crossed all goes to plan... Only 11 days to go!

Yeah i know, but the engine seemed to be in such great nick, so I thought the ks I bought it on were genuine...
Nice progress. :icon_bigg
Holidays are great, I've got a couple of days coming to me soon, and my car needs the attention.

Thanks Vonda
Yay for holidays! I don't have any days off, except for the public holidays over the Easter long weekend... We will be having to do all this at night for the next 9 days...
Tonight we will be polishing up some stuff in the engine bay, and Sam will be starting on moving the climate control so we can get the guages in this weekend (hopefully!)

Ian, I don't know if you guys have Bugs Bunny over there, but one of my favorite cartoons tells Bugs to "shut up, shutting up!!", and I'm pretty sure this applies to you.
If you've never seen it, you won't understand.......if you have then it's self explanatory.
Keep up the good work Kristel.

Where are my boobies? Two whole days in here and no boobies. This saddens me greatly. Has Jake's build really got you feeling that bad? Nothing makes you feel better than posting up newd's or happy dances.........it's your choice.............:naughty:
