FTO revamp.

[Marie]

Nosey nosey!

Well I saw blue bulbs? I'm told some are for the lights outside the car to make them brighter! Also all bulbs inside the car are being changed to brighten up the inside of the car! I also sneeked a peek at crome diall rings & face glow dialls! & a white steering wheel!!!! Shhhhh..... I wasn't ment to see that it was a suprise! But it tells me, my leather seats should be on the way also! It would be just mean to let me drive a car where the stearing wheel doesn't match the seats!

Ok fitted face glow dial's today "Andrew fitted face glow dial's today"
Wasn't happy with the colour they made the screen of the air con, so I left that as it was!
Also put in new spot light bulb's and head light bulb's, really make a difference in vision! Bit of a bumber though about there being too head light bulb's though So I need to order two more, That's all I managed to squeeze out of Andrew for Valentine's Day But Hey! Mother's day is just around the corner!

the first bit of reconstructive surgery a fto should undergo is lowering to make it looks less like a tractor.

That's some pretty fancy tractors they have around your neck of the woods

Marie - any pics?

[Marie]

Will take some picture's later didn't want to stick my head into the car last night with a camera as, he was a little stressed, he wasted two hour's because he put on the dial's over the old ones thinking that when he first put them in on their own they were a little bright! So then he had to start all over again! I know I shouldn't laugh but it's so strange to see him in a bad mood because he never is! Oh the spot's the bulb's were easy enough to change in there, BUT the head light bulb's were neary welded in! Doubt they had ever being changed! One thing that is worring me is the spot's look very blue? Maybe the head light's will match a little better once I get the other two bulb's?

Make sure the bulbs in the fogs aren't 100W or you'll melt the wiring!

I'm sooooooooo Blonde!

[Marie]

I have to make a confession!
I like the old style glow ring's more than the ones I got for Valentines! SHhhhhhhh Don't tell!
I'll put up some Pictures later I dono maybe when I see them with a crome dial ring I'll feel differently, but for now they just look cheap and ugly!

You didn't by any chance buy paper template dials from ebay?

[Muad_dib77]

Looking good I like it...

[Marie]

Ya I can get the pictures up onto my personal Gallery, but how do you attach them to your post?

Any way the light's are touched!
See can ye figure this one out? Andrew has took the car apart twice over the week end!
Ok it's kinda hard to explain but my car is haunted!
Either that or I just bought the night rider's car?
The light's keep knocking off as I'm driving if I've on the heating, if I go over a bump? If I look at them! But if Andrew is in the car they work no bother! It's as if the car is trying to make a lier out of me?
BUT then it happened again last night when we were doing our weekly shop and Andrew WAS in the car so HA I'm not mad?
Any idea's?

[colm_mcm]

which lights are going off?

[Marie]

See that's where it's tempermental, the first time it happened, the all 6 dial's went, the second time the main 4 dial's went, the third time all 6 again.

[colm_mcm]

sounds just a loose plug on the power invertor.
make sure the terminals are clicked in the right way round and, wrap tightly in insulating tape, also make sure that there's no tension on the wires going from the dials, make sure there's plenty slack.

make sure the switch/brightness control (if applicable) is fitted securely to the dash.

[Muad_dib77]

Yeah - I agree!

If those dials are anything like mine the little plugs kinda click in place - but it's very easy to think they're fully connected..

If all looks like it's supposed to - contact the seller and get a refund/replacement.

New headligh bulbs came Friday order from E-bay I think any way they were the wrong fitting & I was a little disapointed but Andrew started melting & molding stuff & reshaped them, the fit! they even work!

Ordered steering wheel & leatherette seat covers yesterday too!
Hopefully the next step will be some lowering spring's!

Really liking those Dials Marie. That's exactly what I want for mine. Do those dials come in KPH or MPH? Doesn't really make a difference to me, just out of interest. And where exactly did you get those? On the net?

MPH, I think my boyfriend ordered them off of E-bay, I'll double check with him later but I'm pretty sure that's where he got them.

Here's Maries new steeringwheel..

Thank's Jay, Just couldn't up-load the photo, Blonde and all, still have to order the thingy to connect the steering wheel, that was my boyfriends blonde moment! Can't decide on chrome or Black?
Black will fit in with the dash board, but the chrome one is bling bling!!!
But then it could also look a show!
