Default WIP Right Hand Drive EsCos 1:18

I don't know if it's been done before, or whether I'm first! (Judging by the level of skill on this forum, I expect I'm the last!!)

I have decided to try and make a right hand drive dash for my new purchase.

When I was a nipper, I had a WRC Escort. I trashed it (Looking at what they go for now, I wish I hadn't!!) but for some reason I kept the dash.

I've been using this as a reference.









I've only done about 20 mins work on it so far, so it's quite rough atm.

I am planning on using the stereo section from the genuine dash.

What do you think so far? Any advice?

CheeRS.

Darren

As pathetic as it sounds, no, I really haven't had the time! Will be having another go at it tonight or tomorrow. (8 Month old daughter permitting!)
