Please correct me if I'm wrong but from Wiki "Interior Colour" it says, "71-77 Sunny Truck Black"

78-85 = brown
Looks like the brown I have in my interior was added from the later model trucks

Great times!

Hey guys,
as the title says my speedo is way out. According to GPS around 30km/h at least.

My speedo is this style:



any ideas on how to fix it? is it hard to do?

thanks

@ greendog. yea that does look mint!

Thanks a12
Yea will resale down the line but want to use it for a while and have fun first. Definitely not doing all this to try to sell straight away and make money. The paint code sticker thing normally near the radiator I'm told doesnt exist anymore in my car. Just rego papers say white.

Back to the interior I'm really confused as to whether it was originally brown or black.
In my car the things that are in black:
- Dash & glovebox
- Seat belt clips and belt material
- Steering column cover
- Plasic on window winder.
- Bits of whats left of the possibly original carpet

In my car the things that are brown:
- Door trims and door handle

My dash & cluster looks like this except my steering wheel was brown :-S



Ideas guys?

same logic as before. Keeping it totally original for future collect-ability...
I'm torn between restoring it exactly as it was. Respray original white (or possibly another orig colour)+ keep brown interior.
vs

Make custom the way I like. My own external colour with black interior

thanks for info.

Yea im getting a few cash quotes starting 2moro. I know theres heaps of work in spray painting/panel beating but I cant believe how much it costs! Respraying a datto in my condition surely couldnt take more than 5-10 days full time work. Materials prob 500-1000. 3000-4000 cash should surely cover that!

damn it brown! I hate brown! I thought it was black so I just ordered black carpet :( DAMN IT!
Now I dont know if I should convert the interior back to black or keep original brown!

yea that looks sweet loosekid

my budget is about 3k, does this sound to low for a 2pac colour change?

also is 1974 interior normally brown or black?

no currently doesnt have chrome. Where would you get the chrome strip from?

Hey Guys,
Anyone had any experience with the windscreen rubbers off ebay?

I need one and have found one quite cheap but dont want to waste my time if its #OOPS#e and will leak...

thanks

Nice, I will be paying someone to paint the datto as I want 2 Pac. I have resprayed a few cars myself before when I was younger but dont have the time or patience to do it again.

Possibly a silly question but if you masked up and disconnected everything that is easily removed could you respray the engine bay without taking out the motor? Looks like lots of room with normal A12 in there...

Q1: Yes complete respray (other than possibly avoiding engine bay, might do that black)

Q2: Interior is being converted back to black
