Ya that was the plan all along, get a 500$ car, sink a couple hundred into her (1200 actually) and buy a real car

Not a bad idea. Considering all you have done I'm suprised you only spent 1200

And with all his time put into it, he should be clearing about a buck an hour!

so ive decided to go another route with the gauges. about 2 weeks ago i was walking through the junkyard and found a 96 prelude, i needed a few pieces so i checked it out. i found a mint condition electroluminescent gauge cluster (there sort of hard to find, about 100-150$) for 35$ . got that installed and it looks great, they have a smoked lens so when there off its black. im going to try to electrical tape out the KM/H and the shift indicator from the back side, hopefully youll never know there there. tomorrow when i get the dash finished ill post up some more pics. (also got a new set of tweeter covers, mine were broke )
