Any chance your mate wants to refurb 9 rims for me lol lol

Then a mate of mine Dale said he had a digi dash in his shed i could have, so he brought it round, it was worse than i expected, no loom, no clear screen, no bulbs, only good thing was it had the transducer

I then remembered around 2 years ago when i put my digi clocks in my Nova, i got a spare loom from a mk1 nova in my scrappy at the time, after ripping the shed, garagem and my bedroom apart, i finally found it under my bed

Checked for all the needed wires, they were all there, RESULT! all that was needed now were a clear plastic front and bulbs

Managed to find 4 of my spare lower indicator/handbrake bulbs, dont ask me how, i just came across them in the boot of my model sierra cosworth lol

Then i remembered their was a complete Mk2 Astra in my local scrappy, so went up late one evening, destroyed the dashboard lol, and managed to remove the clocks with noting more than a flatblade screwdriver, took it home, slowly prised the clear front off the poverty clocks, tried it on the digi's and the hole was in the wrong place, crap! so made the hole larger, hey presto, glued on, doesnt look too bad

Yeah the hole looks abit bodged, but considering ive now got a full digi dash setup for FREE, im not moaning, ill keep it as my spare

But managed to get some trims form my scrappy off the Astra Mk2 which are retro as funk! looks pretty cool with them on aswell, but one keeps on falling off so their in the boot for the time being

Well all he did with mine was sand them down, sort out any inperfections, might look liek theirs none but even hairline scratches he gets rid of, he takes ALOT of pride in his work

Get me a pic of the spoke Mike, ill see if he can repair it for you? :thumb:

Will do when its light (tomorrow)
