Space heat foil stuck on the aluminium heat shield and bolted on



Exhaust manifold fitted, and even if I say so myself I couldn't stop smiling after getting this all fitted up

Next job Dashboard, I've been struggling with this, deciding which way to go, I didn't like the look of the equinox one, I wanted a carbon one but there's not one with an iva edge,

In the end I decided to make one with deboned sheet, easy to work with etc, as for the lower edge I'm using black pvc waste pipe, sounds crude but it's turned out sweet

Template first, I used 2mm coriguated plastic from wickes, was only £4 for an 8x4 sheet and can be easily cut





Fixing holes drilled and rivnuts fitted in scuttle



Rubber grommet and sleeve for steering column

I was in the zone and forgot to take any pictures, I cut all the switch and dash holes out on my dads cnc

Back of the dash



All fitted up for good hopefully, lower edge pipe trim fitted



Full photo



Battery fitted and passenger footrest, I might block the battery off from the footwell with a bit of dibond

Looking good there Rosco. Must say iv been following you and it's a very good build. Wish I had a accses to CNC machines as iv had to do all mine by hand which does limit things. Looking forward to seeing it on the ground and on the road.

Cheers pal! Yeah a cnc is sweet, lucky to have use of one I guess,

Your builds sweet too, I've been looking at it on Flickr but can't seem to comment on it on the iPad, love your rear lights and did you wet lay the dash yourself? I wish I had of gone for aluminium sides, looks very smart, have you booked your iva yet?
