    Default dash or no dash for track car???

    i'm in two minds wether to keep the mrk2 dash in my track nova or get rid of it and the heaters in favor of some pods. am i being gay wanting to keep the heaters? shall i stop being gay and buy a big warm coat?

    when people have stipped out there dash what do they do with the lighting switch and hazard switch for example? any pics would be cool

    cheers

    i did strip out the dash on my old shell, i was going to use the original pod the light switches were fixed too on the dash, and the hazard switch was fitted to a old dashboard mount
