Here are a couple of photos of one I made earlier. It was mainly made in the Blue Peter fashion of using sticky back plastic, used detergent bottles and alsation droppings. Not the best kit in the world but it was cheap
 The dash was for SVA , there is a knob missing off the heater control. The next dash was based on an Escort 1300GT mark 1 instrument panel, it looked a lot better.

You're making great progress there Enoch, good show. If I might just make one small safety related comment though, unwind all the cable from your extension lead before you do any serious welding, having it coiled on the drum and pulling serious amps through it can cause it to heat up quickly and catch fire. I have seen one go and the sparks are quite spectacular but the smoke that the insulation gives off is quite dangerous.
Keep up the good work. D.

Hi Davey, you are spot on with the extension lead thing, when they are wound up you can get induction and heating up and all sorts of nasty things. When using it I always unwind it and leave it in loose coils under the bench where nobody can trip over it and its free to cool and not suffer from induction.
Good point well made old chap!

Cheers Enoch, didn't want to teach granny to suck eggs but there are many people who don't know about the risks of using wound up extension leads. The one I saw go up was supplying a food van and they had a 3KW chip fryer going along with two fluoro lights and a couple of fridges. I spotted the smoke coming from the extension lead and shouted just as it burst into flames, lots of spectacular sparks before the trip went off but the smoke was horrendous, thick black acrid choking smoke that was undoubtedly poisonous.
