Rick- Gsi dash would look better but tbh if it gets changed for anything it will be a flocked dash. I'm getting a load of bits doen on the escort so I might chuck them another nova dash to do.
Its all down to what he uses it for tbh, I believe its gone way past being a road car so luxeries are pointless, it is however not my car so I'll do what Ad wants (to the car that is ;)
Had a look at the car last night and decided as the cage sits sooo close to the dash that it can stay grey lolQuote:

The problem was that they are big and clearance between them and the bulkhead was extremely tight so it was hit and miss if the firewall was going to have to be cut off.
After squashing the filter into a shape it wasn't overly happy about I managed to get it on which although its tight to the firewall shouldn't be a problem as the engine is nigh on solid mounted, time will tell though.
Heres the pics of the trumpets etc..

As you can see its mega tight but I'm confident that it will be alright.
Only other part that showed up was a 11" Pacet Fan, it took all of 5 mins to fit but its another step closer to being complete now :)

Whilst I had my mop to hand I thought I'd just buzz over a part of the roof to see if there was anychance of improving the paint where it had faded so much, besides making a fooking mess everywhere I think it will come up fine, the edges are always a pain on red cars as you cant go anywhere near them with the mop so they will need to be finished by hand.
