Most people won't mind at all if you PM them for more info or pics on their interiors. Sky's the limit on what you can do...just set high goals and go for it.

Good luck.

i've been thinking to 'empty' the front of my car cabin many times but i never find the courage to do it...how much weight you've got rid taking out the whole dash?

The problem is, I have a whole bunch of other gauges that need to go in there. I don't think it'll look good with everythign open but I won't make the dash very large, not like stock. The center console will sit a good bit higher also because of the shifter height.
I may have to model something up in SW to see how it'll look.

EU top tuners have the tradition of clean floors...there is also a contest where the floors are so clean you can actually eat your food on them and avoid any contamination...
instead, i love some oil drops here and there, some gas smell and coolant blue dried out drops... and the lovely dust staying on my favourite pics at the walls...

Only 3 or 4 rows of guages? Go all out, put 5 or 6 rows in along with an intercom to welcome them to "Air TT"
j/k. I can't wait to see your cockpit when your done...looks real good so far, seems like a lot of fabrication work involved there. How's motor coming along? any pics
