Well, here it is... brought to you by DIY Motorsport @ The Driveway, Fife.

Couple of pics to remind you what car was being worked on, I'll do a full feature sometime in the future... Haha!!






Thats right, its the 'Bailey Bus' AKA 'The Viking...' and now for the main event.. I know you're all dying to see how I've transformed it, so wait no longer.... Here it is, I'm confident that its a World First in the modifying scene.






Thats right, its a sponge mounted Air/Fuel Gauge.... Oh yea!!!

Found the gauge lying around doing nothing and since I was a bit bored, I decided to fit it to the car I use to transport my dog to and from the beach/vet/hills.. only problem was, I didnt like how it was sitting without a proper mount, so I butchered an old sponge and now it fits like a glove. Haha, it works surprisingly well, the car runs slightly rich all the way through the rev range. Just like a proper sports car should!!

Whats your thoughts??


Cheers,
Grant

Hahaha, thanks guys... good to see this thread is being taken as seriously as it was intended to be!! The gauge is worth about 1/5th what I paid for the car too...
