Will

What wheels have you got on there ?????????? or did I miss that bit of the thread ?

Forgot to say it helps if you lift the back of the car up makes the angle a lot better to get engine/gearbox combo in , skateboard or similar on the end of the box helps as well .

Bananarama! it i cut the dash frame up sorry vin lickers

Trying to utilize as much under dash space to hide all the electrics.

I made a sheet metal box and drop down door under dash.

This i will mount all the fuse box ect ect to.

I then covered the dash in cloth as was worried about refection thought the perspex sheet in heavy sun light.

Oh and i painted the dash frame in that truck bed liner spray i love the stuff

Good idea with the cloth Will.
Should keep it nice and " Matt" behind the Perspex. Even light from clocks could bounce back and forth if it was still gloss.

Looking good Will...........

What are you doing in relation to warning lights and info lights (indicator tell tales for instance).

Are these being omitted or put into the tablet?

Not sure, but i think some lights (tell tale being one) is an MOT requirement.........Though i'm happy to be corrected..........Just interested, as its something i'd love to do in the future but not sure what you can and can't do with bespoke dash clusters??
