After a year of searching, an Alpineweiß story

[iwantspeed]

Love the build man! I've read through it several times now. :) The wire tuck came out nice, no? It cleaned up your engine bay big time. Keep up the good work.

Thanks
The wire tuck was quite a bit of effort but the end result looks nice.

Hey guys
I made a gauge holder out of wood wrapped in vinyl.
52mm or 2 1/16 vdo oil pressure gauge.
Thanks to e30savage who hooked me up with a spare center console to use as a mold.
Final mockup

Installed in the car

I noticed you have a mishimoto, I have the same one. How did you go about mounting it on the bottom mounts?
does it sit in the plastic mounts the same as stock?

Keep up the good work bro.

I changed the bulb color on the gauge and now it matches the amber glow a little better.

Looking good. Do you have a pic in the daylight so I can see how the gauge pod is integrated.
