    k, im pretty much done now....

    Im still not 100% its gonna be ok... but i suppose ill not know untill its in the car, with all the dials in.... at that point ill make a descision whether to keep it, or bin it.

    anyways, some pics, there are still a few minor dints that need addressing, but ill use poly filler for that

    This is the top, the bit you will see through the window, hence it being as smooth as a babys bottom.


    The bottom side, the bit facing dash... not really bothered about quality there.


    Top view, which looking at it now shows one of the facia areas being a bit wonky


    The one with the gauge in will allow for large gauge, which was the whole idea..


    And the other two holes populated.




    As you can see theres still a wee bit of sanding to do to make the circles more.. erm.. circular but overall im pretty chuffed with it...

    il put it in the car tomorrow before i spend ANY more time on it and decide whether im gonna keep it or not.

    additionally, i may also see what it will look like with large gauges... so that there isnt as much of a erm.. border for want of a better word.

    That looks sweet.....

    It will look good when its finished, don't worry.

    The creator always look's more critically at a work of art than an admirer.
    Despite the cost of living its surprising how popular it remains! Feel free to swim in my fishbowl anytime!

    looks, great and better than many of the pillar pod mounts ones, especially for a diy job, Re the paint finish, you can buy aerosols of textured fleck stone spray,

    if the colour doesn't match up close enough, refinish with interior car paint
