Thumbs up How to bastardize your car in THREE ways!

Well my car now not only has a supra engine, but it now also has a new style 300ZX dash. Those are the pictures, it isn't finish. But this is my brother crazy idea, I must admit though it looks MUCH MUCH better than the stock RX-7 dash, and it fits pretty good, after he trimmed it up some.


And here is some pictures of the body work taking place...

And a painted one: (fake of course...)

Any thoughts?

Wow, I feel stupid, I can't count... For some reason I was thinking 3. Maybe I'll get some Ugo parts


And no it is a 1991 Nissan 300ZX dash. And most of the places were there needs to be a mount. Is really easy to make one, because you just have to drill a hole, and weld a nut on the back side.....

Yeah, it's a huge improvment over the ugly 7 dash.

I'll have to disagree, I like the 7 dash a hell of a lot more than the 300. The 300's is way too big, especially angled how it is. The 7's dash keeps to the overall shape of the car.

Looks pretty good. Always liked the 300ZX dash because its very similar to an NSX dash. Anyways, good luck with the project.

For the most part I like it. The dash slants a little too much, but it is different and therefore a little better of a dash. Personalizing cars is something I love. The fake paint job absolutely kicks ***, I love that color, too bad it would be hard to make it look like that all the time.
as for bastardization # 1. Booooo your supra engine. Stick with rotary. Maybe it's faster but... I don't know about that change

To late The only thing the motor lacks from being completly in is IC/exhuast piping.
