thanks DR i actually couldnt decide between the
blue on the toyota echo's and camry's and the suzuki SX4
similar colors but the toyota one has a even more silver look
to it on diferent angles still really nice though

my missus liked
the Suzuki color so on it went

Garry thanks mate

no not a painter by trade actually a landscaper by trade
this is only my second full respray first being the green sedan
i watched my dad restore cars for years so taught by the
best

and learning more all the time

Do yourself a favour Jay and stick a white towel on the dash of the green EK and drive it on sunny days for a day or two .
The angles an EK screen has reflects bigtime and white creates glare IMHO

Looking a treat Jay,
colour reminds me of EJ/EH prem..... yours may be a little lighter.....

Can you tell me how close the rear header comes to the sub frame...
I have two sets here - would like to fit one of them to my old bus - but two things stopped me....

I didn't believe the rear header would clear the sub-frame leg and the inlet manifold... I couldn't tell by you pic which one you have used with the single carb - I have a HR water heated one and the X2/186s headers will not clear the bottom front and rear of the jacket......

It might be timely to ask Matty what the light coloured dash on his wagon does in bright sunlight..... each to their own - I like mine matt black....

frats,
Rosco

Thanks guys
Harko the color i was thinking is more like
a chevy cream i will see how it looks and
how the glare factor is
i have painted the sedan dash in high gloss black
and i get no glare off that so i dont know maybe
i will just do it gloss black

Rosco
yeah the color is verry similar to the EH color
i think thats called Port sea blue
i will get some pics for you on the headers and post
them in starter motor swap thread

Have to agree with Harko there Jay.

Light colour dash tops are are pain with the reflection factor.

I'd be going black for dash top.

The top of my dash is painted silver and never had a problem with glare
