Hi Sean,

This is so odd, I've just got myself a FD, but I used to have a V6 MR2, and I remember following your thread on MR2OC, they gave you some hip on there I remember. I offered to re-trim your dash in Alcantara before I realised you were doing it in carbon fibre.

Amazing skill my friend, care to share how you managed to make a custom dash? I always thought about it for my MR2 but never followed through.

Steve

 

I will no longer whinge about the fraction of bodywork required on my RX7 fc. Can't wait to see the finished product Sean.

 

Welcome!

 

@ Steve@edgeautomotive - Cheers for the offer on the re-trim on the dash i made the dash out of foam and carved the dash out of it to the shap i wanted then fiberglass the the mould then gel coat and skim bits of the dash with filler and then sent off for carbon fiber its an easy process but time consuming took me 3 months and over 500 hours to make

@ Scottish1 - Thanks its about 85% complete so its getting there

@ Cowboy BeeBop - Cheers

Last section to go in as there is nobody around to help me i had to improvise

Top section in place


Getting there

Any welded areas all sealed and any exposed areas all sealed

 

glad i stumbled onto this thread. Looks like youre making good progress. Keep the pictures coming and can't wait to see the final result!
