Gauge build, also in progress:

Decided to upgrade my gauges with a new facelift. Over a year ago I bought the orange gauge decals from user: lisasdecals. I never got around to fitting them until around last month. They were really easy to install. I removed the faces off of each gauge so that the dials were exposed. Then I cleaned the gauge surface with mentholated spirits. Waited for the solvent to evaporate, then dipped the decals in soapy water and applied each, one at a time using tweezers. Then rubbed any air bubbles out and went over them lightly with a hair dryer to set.

Also purchased a full set of LED bulbs to go into the gauges. Didn't realize that two types of bulbs are needed. There are wedge bulbs and bayonet type bulbs so I had too many wedge bulbs. Oh well.

Also painted the fascia panel orange with black detailing around the edges. And there is a pic of that and me test fitting some fabric to try and apply to a spare stock dash pad. I've heard this is a hard task but I will give it a go. Alot of people have told me not to use fabric but rather vinyl as it stretches, but we will see.
