Custom Lightweight Dashboard and Center Console

[sleepyvr4]

Hey fellas - my name is Colin - formerly SleepyVr4 over here at tuners. Sold my Galant a few years back and picked up a 92 6/4 when I moved back to the states. Right now it's a purpose built 14b track project/future Gvr4 donor car I've been working on for a month. Got tired of the wounded terminator look inside car so I spiced things up. Dash weighs approx 12 lbs. All metal/brackets etc removed. 4 bolts hold dash in place. The material is headliner from JoAnne fabric - grey on one side black on the other. $15 for 3 yards. The dash material is held on by 4 zip ties - and turned out ok. Car is pretty light. A number of things have been removed. I'll post when I get the thing weighed.

I like it . Cut down to the bare bones yet still functional.

That dresses it up pretty good.

Where are you hiding your ecu at? I've been looking at some dash modifications lately, don't want to do this exactly but what I am thinking about getting rid of the center console, just don't know about the ecu and radio.

That looks very... terminator like.

You swapped the E-Brake from right to left!

So, are you and Joe building this car together or something? Looks like the same car to me: http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/dra...b-record-title-without-nitrous-continues.html

 

[sleepyvr4]

Yeah - I own the car. Joe is brainstorming and collaborating on parts and the entire build. We got a fetish for td05's - gonna kill it with a 14b then jump to 16g and finally have some fun...

HAHAH i said the same thing. I believe my words were "your steering column looks like the arm of a Terminator"

E-Brake on a 1g is on the driver's side of the console to begin with... 2g's are the ones that are on the passenger's side.

OP, I like the new position for the hood pop lever. That's a nice touch!

Also, what are you doing for seat belts? It looks like the automatic ones are gone. Did you swap to the canadian style belts? Or do you just use the lap belts for now?
