G28 - Simple Mans, Simple REDO of an G28 LP640

[Simple Man]

Thank you! Where did you buy the switches?Did you end up putting stickers on those buttons from your pictures or different ones?

For the switches I will use a semi translucent button so the light shines through the white part of the sticker. I was just testing the stickers to see if they stuck to a domed button top.

Here are the two switches,  Google and you should be able to come up with them as it has been a while ago since purchased.

To test out how they worked on a domed button I used the blank sticker fro the set.

Used my fingers as a squeegee to heat up the sticker, so it would conform to the domed shaped button.

Worked pretty well.

Here is the size of the stickers and the button.

Do you have a web link for those switches?. Also, who did the switch graphics  for you? This will be a very clean build when done. Headers look niceee. Keep it up!

[Simple Man]

ZZP headers and OEM crossover are back from the ceramic coating place.
really turned out nice

Like them better than the raw stainless.

Been pretty sick and havent done a thing on the car... o

Thanks to Murci Me for the very useful information on the switches for the dash.  With some semi-translucent buttons they will work out great!!

[Simple Man]

Went with the ZZP SS headers.  From what I read, prior to ordering, they didnt have the fitment issues of the Pace Setter product. 

Well what do you know, the internet was correct this time , there were no fitment issues.

I will get the inside and outside ceramic coated, while I wait for my spindles and brakes from Arruat. Talked to Richard today and he just ordered the parts.

Your rebuild parts come out amazing, even better than brand new.

thanks Pedro!!  I figure I have them out might as well clean them up.

Been down with the flu for a week.... just going to work and coming home and vegging.  Still waiting on the rest of my suspension from Arraut which was ordered January 9th.

But was able to get the rear radiators installed not much else.

[Simple Man]

Another REDO is the radiators.  Currently the cooling setup is in the front of the car.

Yes the that trunk lid is a REDO....so is the hinge, the wiper mounting bracket, the headlight wiring.........

[Simple Man]

The area by the gas tank inlet is a REDO as well.  The way it was cut, left jagged metal that was rubbing and quite abrasive on the fuel filler line. 

More metal was cutout and a grinder used.  Rubber edge trim was purchased from McMaster Carr, to cover the metal edge and protect the new fuel filler line

Next!

[Simple Man]

So the fuel filler line was a REDO as well

Used filler line for sale !! Cheap, Beautiful!!

Purchased flexible fuel filler line form "Filler Neck Supply" .  The line was wrapped in Heat reflective fiberglass tape.

The over powering smell of gasoline in my shop is gone!!
