its bright when you expect it,when i went for a hoon,i was looking at the road,so the light just catches your eye.they look pov pack without the shiftlight on em,but are a pain in the arse at times,like when ya mates get in and play with it,and set it at 3000RPM(john) and it goes on all the bloody time,ya gotta turn ya car off just to set it

is the wiring long enough to throw the shift light in the engine bay. Now that would be cool. Ha ha. Actually thats not a bad idea.

"WHADDAYAMEAN police officer..? THere is no flashing light under my bonnet when I am driving...."

you seem pretty good with the fabrication side of things..... why dont you make your own end cap with mini wriiten into it...? then mount it behind the car so its throws a mini logo out on the ground everytime you thrash past someone??

sounds like an idea, but would shift lights be waterproof?

Ben......... looking very good, can't wait to see the finished product. Can't wait to see the mini finished as well, cos if the time taken to do the dash is any indication, the car as a whole is going to be outstanding

internally mount it in the back parcel shelf.... people will get all confused when you car is running away from them and they think you have the brake lights on

i hope so it should be good, also i noticed that my dash wil only fit my clubby properly, as i tried to it it to the test mule ls for final incar glassing and it doesnt line up perfecty, as in my shell, so dont think of flogging it , cos it wont fit

well guys its been ages since an update on the dash. all fibreglassing is done and final filling before painting is underway. i have decided to tackle the wiring without the aid of a wiring diagram...... (insert instant headache here )...... to assist me i have made a frame to support the wiring loom and to earth it out on ( 5 earth points on one loom ) so far i have traced all light wires, most dash lights, gauges, and other accessory wires such as heater cd player cig lighter etc. more pics to follow.

ur painting it instead of covering it with vinyl?

ARGH!!!!
u'll lose the quality of the job if u paint it.


gogogo vinyl!!

Mucho more prep to make it look schmick anyway. Vinyl is cool coz it hides plenty of sins Not as much as carpet but that would look kinda spastic on the dash

I am with doc trim on this one, though with all the curves on that dash I don't think the vinyl job is going to be a walk in the park either. Good luck whatever you end up doing

Metal to burn, sparks to fly...

painting is atill shat i am doing, and vinyl is a no unless i get it vac formed...... but i rather the idea of a dash the same colour as my car.....
unless i use the yellow velour that matches my headlining.........(or not)
