Repainted Center Councel

Well, I thought it was time to update the look of the interrior.
I previously painted the center councel the same color as the outside of the car, tender blue.



I also took out the factory clock and back mounted a Cyberdyne digital voltmeter in it's place.

Sorry for the bad pics.

Yeah, thought I would have a councel meeting. Hehe.

The wheel was $159 from Summit, plus the adaptor.
