got my dash in

well i spent friday ripping out my dash and labeling all my wires. i was hoping this 240 dash would of been a direct bolt up but it was not. so i had to fab up brackets for the lower part of the dash. all the top bolts lined right up. so bare with me she still has wires poking out everywhere. and vinal falling down (simple glue trick to fix)








i painted the front panel parts. so no more bare metal. i know their is a open spot above my radio and below my afr meter. im getting a lcd touch screen for megasquirt and that would be a ideal spot for it. down on the center console im putting all my toggle switches to control my other goodies. i also gotta order a electronic mph gauge for my *cough cough* z32 tranny. over all im very happy with the dash. all i have to do now is a little wiring and put my hydraulic handbrake. i still have my megasquirt in the glove compartment (had to make a compartment since cardboard will not do)

yea thx like i didnt know that when buying them. ill buy better gauges when i have nothing else to buy. ill prob sell the sx tranny when ever i get the z32 tranny up in the z. i have to get the bellhousing machined with my adapter and buy a ds . and build a crossmember. im selling the sx tranny whole package because i already have to much crap to begin with

I think it's going to be sweet when you get it all done. what about your heater controls, and fan? Where are you going to put those?
