This is mine, its a bit dirty in this pic (and most of the time) Its an ebay jobby for the dash a random centre console but I made a new fascia panel that could actualy do something rather than just vents, (took ages aswell)

[happyhippy101]

Took ages due to the unusual bottom dash rail cutout, and the wierd heater........don't know what it's out of......

All home made from scratch, and I'm quite bloody proud of myself too......

happyhippy101, Nice dash, I want to do a similar thing, what model mini is yours as mine is a 93 cooper and therefore i'll have to remove the later style dash and the plastic surround.

Thnx Dan,
Its a 1974, and about as basic as you can get at the moment, but want to keep it more or less that way really...

I was hoping that this would look classy for the era, rather than tacky rhubarb for now.....??
what u think...?

Without blowing my own trumpet (though I am ), i've just graduated with a 1st in graphic design and im a pretty good craftsmen, so I consider myself to have good taste, I think you have done an amazing job and it definitely doesn't look tacky.
