That bottom photo looks pretty snazzy

It's been a while since an update, but I assure you lots has been done.

So to this thread back up and going I want to ask you this... which picture do you prefer? Backlit at night or not?

That's good. Everyone has an itch they need to scratch sometimes.

[MC Hammered]

The curiosity lasted almost 48 hours :D

From where I'm sitting, the chunky five-spokes look better on the wagon, and the mesh wheels look better on the cabrio.

Comparison shots: 17" Azev C (top) vs. 16" Borbet B (bottom)

[stanhayward]

The Azevs really suit the vert in my opinion.

Good problem to have not knowing which wheels go where.

[MC Hammered]

I couldn't get the idea out of my head, so out came the floodlamps as I just had to swap the wheels onto the wagon right now.

I'm not 100% sold I like the Borbet's over the Azev's on her.

wow - awesome job painting those needles.

[DREWHALL]

Looks awesome! The seats are killer.

[MC Hammered]

Finally decided to get her into Winter mode.

Took her out for a drive and I forgot just how much fun she is to rip around in! The needle hits 100kph a lot faster than in the vert.

gauges really look good?

what's the story with the brake / brake fluid indicator lights? seems like they replace the ABS light?

was the MPH gauge retrofitted?

any plans for rear fogs?

thanks Wilson

The top cluster is a VDO Euro spec from the touring, the bottom cluster is a Motometer from the USA spec convertible.

What the difference with the indicator lights are I do not know.

Haven't done much to the wagon since I got Nina back, other than collecting a bunch of parts.

Here is the latest goodie I found for my Momo Monte Carlo wheel
