Just started finishing the timber for the section across the front.
The switches for windscreen wipers and headlights will go on the left. I am changing them over to a pull out type like older mgs etc

Looking good, noticed that wood trim on the dash too, nice details like that really make a car...
Cheers Drew

Thanks whooligan!
I've enjoyed putting my own style to it.
A few more days and the interior should be finished (pending no disasters)

its coming along nice Ionix, those shapes are not too easy to start with and can be harder to do nice than you expect.
Contact gluing a thin layer of upholstery padding from spotlight (only a few mm thick)  underneath your vinyl next time might give you a bit cheat margin to make it all look nice and tight. A bit of trim and a few gauges and shell look schmick. Doorcards or dashtop next?

Hopefully can get it all nice and smooth once I glue it down also as it's just sitting on there at the moment :)
Next up is the gauge cluster I think. I need to make a new one as I have a new speed and tacho so need to fabricate a new surround.
The door cards won't be far away though. I am still undecided on them as I just did them in plain velour last time. But I am thinking vinyl and valour potentially.

Its been awhile since a post with moving house and building the new shed, but i finally got a few hours on the weekend to try and remember where i was up to.
I finally finished off the gauge cluster (attached), then i  just need to finalise the lighting circuit wiring for my centre console gauges, get the new fuel sender and speed sensor working, general put back together and back on the road!
