Installing shift pattern plate

Today I brought one of the shift pattern plates with me I had received earlier this week, Time to make a “how to install” for this nice plate. As mentioned before I decided not to order the plates with pre drilled holes. The case might be that the holes wouldn’t align perfectly with the holes in the glove box door.

Glove box part 02

As I’ve mentioned before, I was in the run for producing the original JDM 4 speed shifting plate for the dashboard glove box.
After some hard work reproducing these nice and iconic plates, they are finally finished. Took me a few days cleaning up the scans and convert the artwork into vector. But the result is as I hoped for, or even better..

Glove Box part 01

I will give some extra attention to the glove box in this post. The main reason is actually not the glove box cover itself, but the shift pattern instructions plate on it. With nice instruction in Japanese Kanji, I like that a lot!!!

Retouch rear emblems

I completely forgot to post these pictures I made when repainting my rear emblems. I will place this with the right date stamp, so it will end up halfway my journal, sorry for that.

Grill & Emblems

After a short holiday break (x-mass, ny) its time to start where I left. Next week I will start prepping the paint job, but before that there’s enough work to be done on the smaller parts. Today I cleaned up the grill and its emblems.

Refurbish apron emblems

Because I would like to stick to my tight budget, I have to be efficient. That means, cut the cost on replacing parts that are basically good, but just need some attention in detail, for instance the emblems.
