Dashboard From A Car !

[Guest fontayne56]

Hi Chaps !

 

I have been looking at making my dash and just the plane flat dash looks ok but i want one the looks ! PUCKER !

 

So i have bought a dash from a 1998 Hyundai coupe of flea by for £20 .. Now going to cut it about and see if i can get it to fit. Wee bit of filling and a recover it might look good ! Has anyone atempted this with any other dashboard !

 

if not please wish me luck and i will post the outcomes in the the following months ...

 

Many Thanks

Ryan

That's a far more difficult job than my cut & shut of a MG Midget screen & frame,we got there in the end,hope you achieve a smart result.

I have seen a Hood with an Escort dash I believe, it looked fine. The air vents will be useful

[Guest snotfart]

vey ambitious! best of luck.are you going to try and use the clockset too?

[MarkBzero]

It has a lot of potential and could look really good. Don't forget to post the final pictures.

Regards

Just to warn you that before you go much further, fit the bonnet, as on mine there is a good 2cm gap between the chassis rail and the bonnet. If you are use the a fixed scuttle then great, if you intend to use the alligator style whole bonnet open make sure it clears your "new" dash.

I'm getting interested in this idea, next visit to scrappy's going to look at some alternative dash boards.

Make sure you have room for the Wiper motor etc and the windscreen demister ducting !!!
