3rd and final instalment before I retire to the batch with a car magazine and a bottle of Pinot Grigio...
I decided that I should make the hazard warning button and window switches accessable. Previously they were hidden under the carpet.
Cut some holes
Spray black
Dry
The rest of the time was trying to decide between wood and steel for the gear surround and dash. Whichever I go for will be stuck to the hardboard structure so I cut out some precise templates for the two pieces require out of some old floor vinyl. You can also see where I have fitted the hazrd and window switches. Reasonably discrete but still accessible. The wiring loom was too short to hide them in the false dash
Looking at the dash in the white tiled effect is steering me away from the steel which would be similarly light and go for the oak instead. Still a light finish but not as big a contrast as the steel would be. It will also match the wood panels at the sides of the foot wells.
