Looks awesome man! I especially like the dash. nice work!

tell us more about the dash...that looks great!

Yes! Dash looks awesome. I can't believe that car doesn't have a bunch of rust. Do they not use salt in the winters up there? I know in some places in the US it's too cold for salt so they use sand, but still. Nice, relatively rust free car you have there!

I found a peice of scrap metal at my dads work and it was 6 ft long and already was bent at a 90.so I measured and started jigsawing.at first I painted it alluminum color but wasn't happy with the finished product.so I was in Canadian tire and seen a roll of 3m carbon fibre wrap and gold trim witch cost me $60.the gauges are Equis and cost me 120 and the ignition switch button panel cost 30 bucks on sale at princess auto.all together it cost me 220 so far for the dash work

I also just got my ebrake in the mail today.paid $30 for it!
