Finishing Dashboard

Dashboard build has take much more time that i never ever imagined.

I believe Nissan S13 dashboard in example would be also quite nice, but it´s not my cup of tea.

I wanted dashboard to be perfect. I wanted it would be as original looking as possible. I did´t want to use dashboard from other car.

 

 

Empty spaces are now filled with fiber class to make it whole.

 

 

Test drive again.  Every component must be in perfect place. There is still something to fix in placement. It´s not feeling OK.

 

 

Gas pedal also fitted.

 

 

Window wiper locations moved. Working with wiper linkage as well.

 

 

New plece to suck fresh air inside car.  It also helps linkage mounting. 

 

 

Dashboard holes filled with filler.

 

Speedo cable re-located. 

 

 

Quite tight curve for speedo cable. Time will tell how long it last.

 

 

There is hole under that metal sheet where fres air will go inside cabin. Needed to do that sheet to prevent raining into the car. 

 

 

Dashboard changed. Cluster did not fit in properly in place after all. 

 

 

Dashboard changed again. It was not tilted perfectly. “Cut and paste”.

 

 

Hood opener. It´s bit too stiff to use. No time now to do it better.

 

 

Dashboard almost done. I painted it to see lines better.

 

 

Under dashboard there is still work to do. Lot´s of air ventilation pipes etc. They needed to be match for new blower location.
