redbaron Posted January 14, 2006 Posted January 14, 2006 Once the vehicle is up and running it is time for a bit of "icing on the cake." The attached photos depict my efforts to give my Rotus an identity.

slngsht Posted January 14, 2006 Posted January 14, 2006 Nice attention to detail. It'll be a while before my car is done that nicely. How many miles a year do you put on it?
redbaron Posted January 14, 2006 Author Posted January 14, 2006 I completed the car and got it licensed and titled in 1994. I have had speedo problems from time to time so I am guesing I have accumulated about 6000 miles or so. I use it strictly for plesure 'cause Im a bit too old to race it. However,I would like to try an autocross sometime.
slngsht Posted January 14, 2006 Posted January 14, 2006 Autocrossing and cruising (and maybe the occasional track test and tune session) is all I plan for mine too.
solder_guy Posted January 14, 2006 Posted January 14, 2006 I see that you have the little valve covers too! I've seen them packaged as a set of 4 .. but not 5 which is what is needed! Nice details! Also I see that you have a headlight control to the left of the steering wheel. Does that function as a directional blinker also? If so does it reset after a turn?? Please provide pics of the rest of your dash!! Rob Mitchell, Atlanta, GA
redbaron Posted January 14, 2006 Author Posted January 14, 2006 I bought a set of 4 valve caps initially but shortly after I installed them some one had sticky fingers and walked off with 3 of them. I reordered another set so now I have one extra. That lever to the left of the steering wheel is a combination turn signal lever and hi/low beam switch. It is not self cancelling so you really have to "rough it" and cancel it manually.
solder_guy Posted January 15, 2006 Posted January 15, 2006 There are some valve covers that lock in place. I like your turn / hi-low switch! Rob Mitchell, Atlanta, GA
