A couple of my parts needed reflocking after 6 years but in fear of a poor colour match on the new VS old I decided to rip it all out and start again.
Also a nice opportunity to tidy wiring and run the extinguisher pipework with the dash now out of the way.

Busy, and if you sort the wiring out right you should also be able to shave a few grams

Spent the morning tidying up wiring and generally making parts cleaner to use and nicer to get to should I need to at a later date.
Also got the tank bolted up. I went to get a nice bulkhead fitting today which will allow me to do all the plumbing in the car while the dash is out. Then I can pop the scuttle panel off and plumb in the nozzles whenever I want.

Extinguisher all plumbed in cabin side, bracket made and cable fitted.
Also the second of my interior pieces is nearly done. Still in primer, but fits nice.

I still think your "Gauge in heater blower" was a quality idea. If I was going for more gauges its something I would consider 😊

Sounds a good idea
I deleted the cup holder also, but housed the controller in its place, and placed my hazard switch near the fog light switch to the left of the steering column.

Hmm, think you have a problem with the syvecs dial, seems not to go up to 11, which it most certainly should in this car

That looks awesome Frayz!
Love the whole look, especially the flocking and bespokeness.
You certainly dont think your in a 10 year old car looking out of that cockpit

Looking good mate. The triple pod reminds me a bit of the gauge setup in the Focus....but this is better!
