Hi, i am going to be making my own custom dashboard soon. As yet, i have no idea of what to do, so i was wondering if people could post pics of their dashes to help me. Im not going to copy anyones dash, as i want a unique one but i just need a few ideas. Thanks.

Are you refering to making your own fibreglass ones or the ones on ebay?

The reason i ask is that i dont think the centre console is at such a good angle for that design..

[Mandgands]

gonna make my own. the pic is just a rough idea of what i want. its not exact. i see your point though, the centre console would get in the way of the gear stick when putting into first and third.

Still no pics posted yet, has everyone got standard dashboards then!!!??

yes it is attached to the dash rail

the wiring on mine was non existant as it had all been riped out

but should be a case of tidying the wires and re routeing them to thier new home
