The dash peices housing the cd player and 7" screen are still under constuction.

slightly off-topic, but is your T-bar intentionally crooked? If not, you can fix it by undoing the nut beneath the knob, swivelling the knob until it is straight, then tightening the nut back up again whilst keeping the knob straight ;)
And I still say that rear console is begging for a KFC bucket :P |

the shifter knob is like that as it makes it a little more comfortable to change gears

more pics of what has been happening to my dash install so far. i have started to fill in the gaps and build it up into a better shape. i am going to make all the dash panels smooth, but what colour should i paint it, should i keep it silver or change it. the car is black and the interior and stock trim. any suggestions would be good

Personally I think a lot more work needs to go into that TV surround, unless the camera was just being *really* cruel with shadows/lighting.

yeah it is still not 100% finished. still alot of filling and sanding to be done yet, but it gives an idea of the shape of the finished product

to date i am still slowly finishing the tv installation, but after seeing it installed at an amost finished state i noticed due to the smooth finish it looked out of place. i have now started work on the other two dash panels. all i have done at the moment is mould in the stereo surround into the panel and also smoothed over the small lip on the instrument surround for a smoother look. i will be painting it all gloss black after the final step of giving it a few coats of hi fill and a final sand. here is a picture to give you an idea of the finished product. also can anyone tell me the quickest way to paint the top of the dash with black vynil die.

the reason for all the switches for the speakers is so that if the babies are sleeping i am able to listen the the radio or cd player with the least amount of noise to wake the girls
