Looks really nice and neat. Loving the white and black combo.

Thank you, it's really come along in the past month. I should have the dash done and fitted by the end of the week. I'm unsure as to whether I should add some sort of structure behind. I certainly need to add something to fit the ecu and fuse/relay/witchcraft on to.

Should I also add a 'floor' to the underside of the dash/scuttle?

I was just gonna mount the hardware on the inside of the scuttle thats on the engine side.

I see a lot of people doing that and it makes perfect sense but I don't like the idea of a big empty void or the underside of the scuttle above your knees being open. I need to come up with something that makes it feel more finished.

Mainly for Iva, I put a panel at the bottom of the dash. If you can't touch it, it can't fail. I removed the drivers side after Iva as I needed a little more leg room but left the passengers and added a cigarette and USB socket for satnav and phone.

seeing as photobucket has gone crazy. Could you show me how you fitted your side panels? I cant decide if i should glue them or rivet. Thanks!

norton 13th July 2017 04:13 PM

I used both, glued along all contact points with maybe 15/20 rivets per side holding them on tight.
