Looks like you've made a neat job of it mate When you get it fitted back into your car, take another picture from slightly further away so we can get a better idea of how it suits the Cossy dash

thanks, keep doing bits to the car but every time i do a bit i find some more to do!
and its always more to do than i have just done! at moment the dash is out, carpet out, bench and front seats out, fuel tank off, loom out in engine bay, front bumper off, rad and fans off, brake fluid out and new lines/caliper to fit, battery off, and most hoses off.

i think you would have to remove the existing gauges so it can be plumbed in Lynne.

Dave,
Good call on locating them where you have to take your eyes off the road to see them .

not at all Mike.. the perfect angle at which they sit means a slight glance gives you perfect vision

Good call for removing the main essence of 'escort cosworth interior' and bonding on 3 ugly pods!

Dave,
I think that is a case of "Pot, kettle, black", all I need to say is three letters "WRC" . I think changing the interior slightly, is a LOT better than altering the exterior so radically, that people are convinced it is a CVH powered replica .
