Casey's RHD Swap/Build

Lulz, thanks.

SMALL UPDATE...

So I get bored easily. And since the car is STILL in the shop, I took the dash board home and decided to paint it because it looked nasty.

Before...

After...

And a couple of shots with a decent camera of the gauges/needles...

And I've put all the LEDs in it but I haven't been able to check what it looks like since I don't have the car yet. He said I should have it back in 2 weeks, and I told him I'm going to try to make the FL2K8 Lexus/Supra meet on the 25th of this month. So we'll see. I also told him that since he took the old front bumper off, to put the new Gracer one on so it'll come back with that.

That black is my new interior color by the way. I've decided to spray it all a semi flat black instead of what I had planned on my last supra. Which was gloss black with a gloss red accent theme. Now it's going to be semi flat black with red stitching.

A few pics from my old supra...

Did you use spray paint or a spray gun?

I used this spray paint in the flat black color with the Duplicolor sandable flat black primer first.

So I took the old black and red door panels and painted them this way...

I figured the flat black wouldn't look good with the gloss red so I sprayed them all black. I've finished spraying all of the interior so when it comes back I'm just going to swap all of they gray out for this stuff...

I need the inserts that are gray on this in the vinyl on the rear armrests...

I'm also going to keep the carpet out until I find a good sound deadener. I'm going to put as much of it as I can everywhere. So anyone have any input on a good brand?
