I’m thinking about trimming down the big rectangle over the cluster.  I’ve got some ideas for how to make it look alot more complete,  but that’s another day.

I like your pic, I reckon I’ll just do a linked up console.

I do also think I have to panel it in too for safety n such so I reckon I’ll end up covering the whole thing in black marine carpet.

You’re describing what a hiace is like.

Here’s what I’ve got.  the square hole on the right is where the old manual shifter went.

So you reckon it needs a centre console type layout?  I can’t decide and I kinda need to soon ha

I’m tending to agree but I think it will look out of place if I keep with the tube frame.

This just came out of the pf.

Was intended as a pisstake but I love it!  kinda like my nickname but that’s another story…

You mean a commodore one?

Thanks mate, I’ll get a bit more done and I’ll post up tomorrow.

Need a stereo location yet as this box’s main purpose is a sound box.

Also waiting on delivery of an auto shifter handle from a vs that a mate has.

Can’t decide if I need to integrate the shifter into a centre console or as a stand alone item like the gear shifter was.  a…[Read more]

Thanks guys,  I’m just gonna do my best to rig up the majority of the vx setup

Ha thanks mate,  the agreement was copied from another “less open-minded”  forum who very must resist my unusual ideas

So I’ve been struggling with setting up the dash cluster and then integrating the commo bcm and the van.

I made a choice tonight to just remove the dash all together.

I honestly feel overwhelmed with making a circle fit a square hole but yet I feel more comfortable digging a complete mine of a hole to make that circle fit to then rebuild…[Read more]

HUD actually sounds like a good idea too. might look into that if I can get this sorted.

I picked up a vx cluster thus arv and it’s fairly close to fitting so tonight’s plan is to open it up and see just how much meat I can trim off the sides and see if I can’t squeeze it in.

Thanks, yes I’m itching to get back in the seat!

I’m aiming to have it driving before the end of the year.

I really need to sit and do a list up of the things I need to get her done and knock them over one at a time

So I got some more little bits done. feels good.

Got the new bottom pipe in,  just needs clamps.

Removed the battery and laid out the drivers side of the wiring and made the choice to run two generic thermo fans rather than modding the stock shroud so wiring there is sorted also.

I started another thread to ask about wiring it up just…[Read more]
