Looking very smart

I like the dash! Are those Revotec instuments? Also, is the dash c/f (or lookalike), or has it just got a dimpled finish?

The instruments are from Greegauges.com.

The dash is made from 6mm MDF trimmed in perforated blue leather. Mmmm Cow! Gear level gater plus handbrake gater to be made form the same

What did you use for the holes at the front of the ali panel where the bones tick out?

Look really neat by the way.

The last time I told someone on here that a week later someone else painted their car like it so I'm keeping quiet for now! I will be doing the SVA as it is because I haven't got a heated garage so I can't spray until the spring. It will be a very unique paint job though!

Shouldn't there be a locknut on your steering arm??
Came to mind as I am currently struggling to loosen mine.

Yes, I left mine on my rack when it went to be shortened and they were gone when it came back

Trying to get the will power to crawl under a Sierra in the scrappy to get some new ones. Unless anyone has some going spare...
