Ideas for interior and dash
After a year and a half of tearing out crap and contemplating what to do with this interior i have come up with nothing. Any ideas are welcome!

Not having taken a dash out yet, whats the fancy box where the glove box would be.
You could restore it with some nice upgrades like seats and maybe some custom panels or something

nice color, is that HVAC sheet metal on the wheel wells?
I got the Victoria British plastic dash cover, any tips on installation? I don't wanna F$$$ it up like I did driver's side weather strip.

Make an aluminum dash. My friend did it in his race rabbit. He used a brake to bend the sheet metal at a ~90* angle and then fabricated some gauge pods that made the gauges angled to him slightly.
This is a extremely rough and simple picture of what his setup looks like
It looks kind of like this but with two gauges behind the wheel. He also made some sheet metal door cards with a functional door handle and window crank

Actually no I scraped the old tar insulation off the wheel wells and it came out clean.
The only thing I do want in the car Is a pair of RX-8 seats and the RX-3 spedometer that I have. other than that i am kind of at a standstill.

Maybe it's time to learn how to do fiberglass work and use beadboard insulation as a base to lay the glass over. First thing to do is sit down at the drawing board and start designing what you want. You may need to reinstall the tubular framework that held the dash to give you something to work off of. I strongly suggest you reinstall the heater core and at least minimal ductwork, i.e. for the defroster and a couple of heat vents. This means you'll need the heater control for both heat, defrost, fresh air and ac.
Come up with several designs and post them for comments.
