I stripped out the top rail so I can recover it (same material as doorcards) and fit a amp meter and volt meter and a digital tempture gauge, fitted them so I can see what's going on with the amps V/A and temp.
Just need to pop them out cover it then reinstall it.

That's a really neat idea.

Looks good. My only comment would be that an ammeter isnt entirely necessary with a voltmeter as they are proportional, provided resistance doesnt change. You are also sending an awful lot of current wizzing around your dash when using an ammeter and you need to make sure you have suitable cable to top it off. Otherwise you could end up with a very big fire risk.

The ampmeter has a 200amp shunt which will be in the boot and from there a 20awg wire feeds to the meter in the dash in MV so not alot of power will be buzzing around the dash.
