I quite like the colour actually

IN MY OPINION you've come this far with an amazing car, do something amazing interior wise, two screens running off a computer, one for gauges (off the OBD port?) and one for choons?

It's a L reg Corsa, it doesn't have the electronics built into it to do that Everything is analogue so it would be a bit of a mare...

Though I have been looking into making up electronics to make up a little digi-dash. I could make something that would display the speed and odo on a little lcd display, but I want to try and make something a bit better than that...

Everything is done by volts or amps in a corsa, for example the rev counter (fed by the pee green wire) is done by volts. 7v's = ~100RPM, 12v's = ~7500RPM for example.

Fuel gauge is done on resistance I think? Unless thats the sensor.

I recon you could make a really flash dashboard for it.

Oh damn it you've got me thinking now

Oh, and who's this cheeky chappie?

there isn't really that much to be done on the shell so could get that done pretty quickly, unless you want to line the bumpers up (make sure gaps are correct) before we paint it
