cant make wakefield , its a school day :( im using a daihatsu mira dash , im also contemplating using the entire wiring loom from the car, both to get a decent fuse box and to make fitting the dash easier.

Hey they Mira is the new Mini look:

http://www.globalcar.com/datasheet/Daihatsu/1998DaihatsuMiraGinoTurbo.htm

The grille even looks like a Austin roundnose. Which means the dash should go in a treat.... :wink:

Cheers

Matt

13sec, that is one of the best interiors I've seen in a mini, but are you going to do anything about those doorcards? The brown doesn't really work with the yellow, gold black and silver.
