Thought I'd share some pics of my home brew custom dash install. Still got the central tunnel to carpet & I'm currently in the process of polishing the steering wheel spokes. . .

Sheer brilliance!!!
TOO awesome. When you get the armrest done, it's gonna be insane.
I'd leave the steering wheel spokes matte, it matches the inset panel on the crash pad.
er. . . too late! lolOriginally Posted by wannafbody
The insert is actually shinier than it comes out in photos and I just wasn't feeling the matt spokes on my wheel (Didn't feel vintage enough and clashed with the other chrome highlights). Out came the dremel this afternoon, an electric palm sander and the polishing gear! Man, its a TOUGH job! Whatever MOMO coated the spokes with is like krytonite! Chemical paint stripper doesn't budge it in the slightest and I tried the electric sander but it only takes off patches of it.
As revlimiter discovered when he did his, the only thing that shifts it is patience and a dremel with a wire brush attachment - I've worn out three so far! Its a long, dusty job and I've got another few hours work to get it anywhere near shiny!
That interior looks sweet.
Great job you did there.
What are those 3 switches for? Headlights up/down, on/off?
Wow, Uber cool mate
Spaghetti Garage Italian Taste
Headlights up/down, Hazard lights, and an off/on/on switch for either rear and front/rear fogs or front fog/driving lamp (haven't decided yet so its currently unconnected and I have a hidden rear fog switch).
The work you did on your central console kept me inspired Gianni!
OnePaintedMan - I'm totally blown away by that!
Just another cracka azz cracka with an Old Beat up '97
My custom interiorShaved all the air con vents, custom simplified switch panel housing windows, high/low boost, fans, hazards, battery cut off switch and demister. Top part of the dash, crash pad and cluster cover covered in suede. Custom Stack dash setup, Carpet centre console. A lot of work went into this interior and it one of my favorite things about the car
