Joff's Nova Turbo Project

Bit more work done this weekend.

I have finshed sorting how to connect the centre part of the dash with the satnav to the actual dash - happy with the way it now sits.

I have finished the pod for the passenger side and have now mounted the dash in situ to make sure it all fits before I start flocking :-



One problem - I was going to mount the buttons and switches for the ignition, start, nos and boot release on the centre console but there won't be enough room :-



So I am going to extend the dash a bit between the column and the centre section below the hazzard switch and put the buttons here :-



Also been working on a 3 gauge pod pillar concept - its getting there - needs a bit more filler and some more sanding but you get the idea . Its going to house my old guages from the red nova, namely oil temp/oil pressure on one, water temp on another and boost on another :-



Enjoy

Quick update - just been to pick up some bits from the local chroming spot in Hull ..... enjoy!



Had all the catches, wiper motor, bonnet catch, coil bracket etc etc done



These are my 2 strut braces - one for the rear between the two wheel arches - the funny brackets are for the Nos bottle. The other brace will go between the B pillars and bolt into where the seatbelts used to go - this will hold my camcorder.

Cheers

Looking real good.

Is the dash very heavy with all that filler and fibre glass.
