My mk1 Build *S1 dash now in, pg9*

May be irrelavent, but on mine, the top numbers are whole miles, and the trip meter has smaller increments in red. I would have thought if it were 59k, the last number on the top row would be red, as it is on the trip meter.



My car hasnt done 3800 miles!  

Nice dash btw!

Ps i'll trade my dash for your bumpers and a snickers  :mrgreen:
You know you want too!

I actually looked at that pic to compare it and realised it looked more like 600k too. Some s1 dashes have the trip meter on the top row so thats why I had doubts.

If I said deal what would you do for a dash?

buy your dash and tippex out the first digit…  

 

I think i will keep my bumpers :wink:

dang nammit
 :cry:

Your car is So fresh and So clean!

Thanks

Update!

Dash, centre console and wheel on. Just need to get the carpet sections to cover the wires and a new hazard switch as it doesnt work.








Retro blaupunkt radio converted to play an iPod :wink:


Had to make a bracket for the choke as this s1 dash doesnt have a mounting point for it.


Before and after pics





Its like driving another car!

Looking good Ross  

Looks good, what do you mean by carpet sections?  Because i have wires hanging down on my series 2 dash as i removed the lower dash.

As far as I know s1 dash's should have carpet draping over the area with the wires. I dont know how it attaches but I'll figure something out.

Are you not going to put the under trays back on?

Theres 2 kinda pressed felt sections that wedge under the dash to cover everything up.

Do you have a pic showing them?

2 secs ross, ill get you a pic

Heres how not to fit them  

They slot into the dash, and i think there are slots on the bulkhead for the bottom, though i'm not certain on that, as mine tend to come out at the bottom.

Ah, thanks for the pic I doubt I'll find a set of those though so I might just have to make something for the time being.

cheers

Just looked throught you build, very nice car well done! I always wanted the very same car, chrome bumper, small lights! I had to make my s2 look like an s1! Looks almost the same as your car!  8)

Cheers. Yeah Iv seen your car a few times on here and always thought the same, looks really nice. Didnt realise it was originally a series 2. They are very similar! even down to the dash colour :wink:

PM'd

Cars looking superb dude  :y:

That S1 dash is sweet.

Will you be making an appearance at the central meet at the beginning of next month?
