Cutting pieces of carbon fiber for the dash you say? I like where I think this is headed... Can't wait to see the end results!


Well you're in luck  Grin. So as the original dash had been removed to provide templates for The One rebuild, so I'm minus a dashboard, which opened up opportunities for a bit of artistic license, I thought about the original black plexi-glass, I even found a black plexi-glass with glitter in that i thought might give a cool '70s vibe, but in the end i went for carbon fibre. The gauges come from Autometer and annoyingly they all are the Black signature series apart from the Oil Pressure gauge which they don't do in that style, so i've got a slightly different bezel on that one. If i can find a busted 52mm gauge with the bezel i need i might try some surgery to swap them.

Now the key to keeping a 9yo involved is making sure you have things to readily bolt on, to keep the interest going. So to make sure we had something to do this weekend, i decided to make the dashboard afterwork. Now i still need to drill new fixing holes in the right hand side and perfect the corner radiuses, along with mounting the switches and lights, but it's 90% there and we have something to bolt up on Saturday morning. The final thing i need to sort out is the space on the far right, on the original The One this was an interior light as can be seen in the second pic, now i can either copy that and i don't think it'll look bad or come up with something else....remote shift light???

Anyway that's it for today.

Oooh, I like the idea of a remote shift light, keeps the spirit of the car alive while making it a bit more modern and unique which fits with the carbon dash concept. I can't wait to see it installed, it's gonna look great!

Original empi steering wheel has the normal 12 O'clock crack that 99.9% of them do the chrome shines nice with just a few small spots of pitting as pictured near the base of the top hub.  The plastic hub does have a couple cracks also as pictured but does not affect a horn button from being properly seated and there is NO horn button  There are a 3 very small nicks on the wheel. 2 of the plastic horn wore covers are broken as pictured but again the wires are intact and horn will work when properly installed.  

If you need more pics please ask.

I am only asking $650 shipped within the US overseas please ask for shipping quote

Brilliant thanks Richie it was something I was looking to address and was wondering about a rubber finishing strip. But as I'm doing a carbon cover on the glove box as well I think it would look a bit naff on that.

Rob, these are really good for finishing the edges on carbon sheet etc, removes the un-evenness of the fibers that are left when cutting it normally and leaves it nice and neat Smiley
