Very impressive dash so far Looking good

[samwell]

imho anyone who can figure out where all those wires are going/comefrom get a thumps up from me. Where is it you go to uni again? Cant wait to see you onn the road with ur new engine although it wont be for a while. Will u be selling your beaty 998?

[JetBLICK]

lol, cheers. I'm at coventry uni by the way.

Made a fair bit of progress today - i've trimmed the two dash rails in shhh-waade, well, fake suede, as real suede cost far too much Also finished the dash today by adding the fixing points for the ally pannels and then sprayed it black before it gets trimmed tomorrow. The driver side ally pannel is nearly finished, except the rev counter hole. Its all starting to look really nice and tidy all of a sudden, which is pretty cool.

Soz, no pics yet... to busy to take pics

On the list for tomorrow is trim the dash, finish cutting holes in the ally pannels then connect up all the 'lectrics and watch the sparks fly ... its getting close now, cant wait to drive it again

quite remarkably, nor do I... when my engine is finished, it'll have so much torque, and such a long geared 'box, I'll be lucky if I come on cam in town... this is using a 998 cam

Please refrain from turning this into another 998 v 1275 thread each to their own, lets leave it at that, and if you want to settle any arguments i suggest we head to a track day

Roite.. progress. The dash is all trimmed up and finished, the drivers pannel is finished, just need to cut the holes out for the fuse holders in the passenger one. Speedo's broken, i still need to go get that spare off pie or olli, whoever i see first. The aluminimum was originally going to be carbon fibre, but lack of funds means i gotta stick with this ally for a while, tho, its kinda growing on me. The only problem with it is it reflects sunlight - a lot! Even after brushing it, its still not great.. i'll ave to see how i get on with it.

Started to connect everything up, so far we gots the flasher, indicators, strobes and fuel pump working. Just a case of connecting everything up at the mo, and testing as i go along. Its all these little jobs that seem to take forever, but i'm slowly getting there.

So 'eres some pics of the work, i'm so happy with how the came out, turned out much better than i expected hope y'all enjoy....

Depends what strobes ur thinking of i got pace car stylee strobes, in the headlights and in the rear lights. I've always fancied em i dont care if you think they look chavish, i like em

Still sorting out little jobs today, the alarm was being a pain, i kept wandering why the things wern't working till i realised the alarm kept automatically re-arming itself. Managed to work round it in the end now all the wiring is pretty much sorted, just need to get some of the more connectors for the altenator and the wiper motor and some side indicator bulb holders.

Started putting the windows back in this afternoon, also still gotta fit the exhaust, gear linkage and carbs back on... then stick some fuel in it an away we go

Heres a pic of the full dash all together and finished...








Cheers peeps

[Dog]

Thats sexy!

[Mephiston]

thats really good, i like the mounting of the fuse holders, that should be quite handy at times !
