To reply ..... the clocks for the dash is going to be a 8v digi dash with custom films to change some
of the colours.
I have a C20LET being rebuild shortly which will run a hybrid turbo (brand new from Wallace NOT cheap!)
- you can see the Turbo Techincs box in the back ground of some of the pics! I have some ARP bottom
end bolts, a steel gasket and an ARP head stud conversion to go on. I'm looking for extra power but trying
to keep some reliability - hence all the inlet cooling! ECU will be on Phase II EDS with a big FMIC and a
chargecooler as well - I also have a NOS system to plumb in with 50bhp jets - an extra bit of plating won't
make too much difference!!!!!
Cheers for the comments - I'm sure it will be worth it in the end - LONG LIVE THE NOVA !!!

Corsa dash - its in!!
Well,
After making a template and doing a lot of hacking I have managed to get the dash to fit in my nova .
As you will see from the following pic I have had to cut away 3 dash vents and a lot of the underdash
venting in order to get it in :-

However after a bit of fiddling and some tempory side brackets being made up it fits !!!!

The wife didn't seem too impressed!!! Anyway as you will note the steering column comes through to far towards
the centre of the dash. I am planning to go to the scrappies next weekend and get a corsa column to see if it fits
better - I will need to move over the 2 brackets which holds the column in place - another job to do.
Hope this helps any one trying to do this!

Update on the steering column - I think I will have to use a corsa column - picked this up from the local
scappies for a right bargain - its from a X reg Corsa B - so should fit no problems. Its power steering
that uses an electric motor - these go for big money on ebay!
Might need a bit of guidance on the wiring as my Corsa manual only goes to 1997!
