Great work with the actuator :) don't forget to heatshrink those uninsulated terminals on the fuse box though. Shame to have a wiring fire/short circuit after all your work!

Started to get my dash ready! 1st the R1 clocks mounted through so sit nicely! Ignore the messy bench! Lol


Next I need to mount gear indicator and oil pressure gauge! Getting closer!!!!

[blunder]

Added oil pressure gauge and gear indicator.....

Final adjustment of angle and we are ready for permenant fixing!!!! I love the layout so simple and basically dash door folds up to look like a normal mk1 with wooden 3 piece dash!

How bright is the oil pressure gauge? That's the one I've got on my watch list from ebay as I liked the design of being blank when the engine is off

[blunder]

It's bright enough, although very angle sensitive to view! So if it's off to one side you won't be able to read it as the details just vanish!

I get what you mean. Well I'll buy it and see what it's like. Keep up the great work

Interior getting close, this car will basically look like very standard!
