    King Peetis' new hatch..what to do with it?

    I was looking for another hatch with a straight shell and maybe for a few parts. I looked for about 6 mos. and found this one. The guy that owned it pulled the dash out and broke it in doing so . Also, attempted to swap the heater core and must have gotten frustrated and lost interest. He practiced his painting skills too, that's why it has a "Ben 10" look to it . I paid 500 bucks for it and its completely drivable. More pictures to come.

    seems like a good daily beater hatch and your other hatch is a good show car hatch .

    when I swap my dash, you are welcome to have it, you will have to make a piece of trim where the lighter went and something where I installed the gauges, it has one small worn spot where the raised part is near the drivers door, it could be fixed easy. The major issue is the hole for the gauges, I would just install another oil pressure and voltmeter there like I did, it's fixable and useable if you want it. Remember if you pull your old dash, you have to remove the vin number plate and transfer it back to the new dash. it's completely legal to do that since it's the proper vin tag that goes to the car. It's the same thing as removing an old type body tag, painting and putting it back on

    You're awesome Lost!! I'm gonna attempt to install the old dash after some repair work first. If that doesn't work I'll try option 2. Thanks again man.

    I could see if I could make another gauge pod if you need it there is no clock because the gauges were there, always seemed like a good place for them anyway, let me know if you need it it'll be a couple of weeks until the utilities are back on but I will look then
