Well as alot of you know i bought martin c`s old euro bucket and have few plans for it and i am collecting all my bits together to hopefully all fit before summer time!

First on the list is a dash board and door cards, the door cards are gona be one off and nothing like anyting but the dash is just gona be simple and will hopefully go away to the company next month!



i have also painted a few of the interior bits and done them all now but there is no point fitting the other bits till i get my other dash sorted out!




also got some german plates and fitted those and got my rear one nicked with in a week for some un known reason, bloody pikeys so i have had to order another one for the rear!

UPDATE: 05-06-07

Some of you may of seen it at PVS but here is my dash i finally got back after 5 weeks away, still got my door cards to fit but gota retrim the fabric parts first.
also the roof is getting retrimed but will update that another time!

also to people who dont have much mechanical experience i wouldnt attempt this as its not easy, especially on ur own as i did it!

Old dash stripped down:


Taking scuttle off and wipers:


Taking dash out and see what lyes behind:


Put in new dash:


Fited parts up:


Fited more parts up:


Then fited other pillar trims:


havent got any pics of it all in conpletely but its all there, also the center tunnel is flocked which i think finishes off the look!
