Merh, this is the testing area so we'll get another fascia off egay ($10) n do it perfect next time 'round :thebird:

Me n the Dremel aren't that well acquainted yet..

Well, the clock's secure, the tacho's secure.

I'll think I'll give the CD player fascia job to Andrew while I'll tackle the wiring.

If he screws up, he can't blame me !

On my HR, stuck between the dashpad and the dash was a FM-104 note pad sheet

It read:

SLOW DOWN D!CK HEAD !

Being in the center of the steering wheel it was just a reminder to myself

Latest ummmm errrr ... "mod" , it currently has a ....
WAIT FOR IT... A FORD ESCORT CONSOLE !
Yep, the Holden has been b@ast@rdtised with a 1972 Ford Escort center console

(Gordy ducks n weaves as the abuse is hurled)

Just need to put in a "pocket" where the shifter should be & tidy up the radio pocket

Seems a 100% natural fit to me - Son boo hooed the idea UNTIL it actually fitted

Thinking about a IPOD docking station in it ala Pimp My Ride

Old Skool meets New Skool + the digi bits :joystick:

4 can holder would fit in there nicely. Maybe room for ice too?

I thought of a 2 can holder actually (to be aesthetic) - Neat

Will measure up the top pocket for a triple guage setup shortly...

Okies: Top slot is 18cm wide by 6.5cm high, so 3 x 2" guages will fit NICELY !
