Your project looks unreal! That's my next plan a mk2 :)

Just been doing a bit if temp laying for the aluminium surrounds I'll fabricate up to go around the radiator

Change of plans with shrouding. But complete
I'll paint these black to match the new rocker cover when i get it

Started working on the centre console today. I will add a recessed section in front of the gear stick also, but just haven't determined the final layout yet. I will probably but the kill switch in it also and probably my headlight and windscreen wiper switches.
I am making another section which will come from the original dash and hang over this section. I had this previously, but I will modify it this time to incorporate the CD player.
Car is running well etc and have done a few small laps around the block :)

Further progression on centre console arrangement. It won't be as wide as shown as the extra width will be folded to the sides as side panels.
Making use of spare signs as templates as a recycling invitiative. I need to offset my carbon footprint somehow from the fuel I use in cars 😀

Lol, was that sign really a "spare"  Good to hear its on the road, those first couple of laps around the block would have put a smile on your face.
Coming on nicely... Drew...

Loving the centre consol design. I want to do something different for my mk 1 as interior parts are getting hard to get.
Keep the pics coming.

Thanks whooligan.
I'll have the centre complete by this weekend then will post up some more pics. I just need to work out the glove box design and how to tie it all in and then I'll be happy.
Ive just ordered some more smiths gauges to put in it. Now it will look like a plane with the amount of gauges 😀

Mine was timber originally but I wanted to shape it a bit more with the lines of the centre console so that's why I went aluminium this time.
It's all finished, now just time for trimming etc
That is the frame of the glove box/ shelf. The flip down section is so that I can access the fuses in the relay board without tools Incase of any issues

Started fitting the front carpet again before doing the final check of all the new centr console and covering it. Having the front carpet makes it feel like a car again. I am going suede on the side and black vinyl on the top. A reverse if the seats.

Cheers for the inspiration.

Pleasure! Please post some pics up when you do as its great to see how other people are doing them!

Started covering the centre console today. Will hopefully get it finished tomorrow.
Then will get started on the timber work.
