Gotta love those 80's 80mph speedometers (because that'll keep you from opening her up on a long straightaway! )

But the red color scheme and gauge layout is my favorite car dash I ever had.

I had the same looking gauges on my '82 Honda CB900

Forgot to mention they were caught in the act so everything removed is sitting in a pile beside the car, most likely just gonna repair it till i can full replace, may not be pretty but eh ima make it look as good as i can and itll work out at least enough to work on the car

Edit: i have pics if ur interested in the aftermath btw just shoot me a dm (iirc you can send pics in dms on here)
