Since the other thread is archived. 

 

Touched the s70 a bit, and then installed some more lighting in the garage after doing some organizing of parts.   

Made a list of stuff to buy to do a stage 0 and replace.

Finally somewhat finished the center dash speaker holder for a heads up display. 

Need to make some tweaks, and fish the wiring to the back of the radio for a cleaner look, but it worked out for my drive to a meet over the weekend.

Yeah now that im about to jump back into working on the car I mineaswell. 
Need to pop the dash cover off anyways to replace the dead cluster, so ill route some nicer cables through the dash to the back of the headunit that ill be replacing soon as well.    
Need to fish all the old dash cam wiring out as well since my blackvue finally fell apart after what feels like 5-6 years. 
(The unit pictured has a forward facing camera on it, and has a rear back up cam that doubles as a rear dash cam). 

Have a few things on the shelves to put on over the next couple of months as well.    
Was fun working on the car for the short time I did over the weekend, forgot how it felt.

Nice! looks 3D printed?

I was working couple months ago on similar project. Just oldschool way - template, mold, fibreglass, sanding... then glued on some leather for final look.

Got a pic?  
I thought about doing it that was as a couple locals have as well for gauges.  
I need to revist this project and do some finishing touches still.

 I did add a pic, strange.

Now found this in my profile...You have used 7.8 MB of your 7.81 MB attachment limit.

Sorry, no image then.

 

I used to have gauges and buttons there, too, when I had airride. That was completely hand formed around them by welding hundred small plastic pieces into shape and then textured the surface to kinda look like plastic bumper.
