Have a look at my build pages 29 and 38.
You will see what I did with the dash and console.

I've got a proper Toyota dash pod floating around somewhere.. used it when I had my DNA and installed a second screen in it.





No screen in it.. just the surround.  :-)
That could look pretty cool on a F430 dash, got me thinking now

Well it has been a while since I posted on here. As the weather has started to cheer up and Stoneleigh just over a month away I thought I’d get a move on a fit up the other dummy callipers.

I had everything prepared and it probably took around 3 hours in total. The rears needed some adjustment to get right but it was pretty straight forward in the end. I even managed to get them sitting pretty vertical!







Rears










Fronts

Extra hole drilled in the DNA bracket to allow them to sit vertically arrowed.









Remember I still have to redo the passenger headlight to install the extra side light in place of the DNA indicator. I wasn’t going to bother doing this before Stoneleigh BUT as the front wheel was off I went with my heart and removed the headlight so I can get cracking on it.. 4 weeks to do it……can it be done?   Fingers crossed….

Great work mate.😉

My pre-Stoneleigh checklist seems impossible at the moment, but I have to get her in tip top condition to sell.

See you there.

Hi Paul,
Well, I have just finished reading your build thread, you don't happen to work for Haynes by any chance lol?
I am greatly Impressed with the level of detail and craftsmanship during your build, and like the guys said all along, you really have earned the right to drive that beautiful piece of art.


Cheers

you got a heavy foot......
