Hey Jay, I haven’t had the time lately for the forum or the car. I've been really busy with work. Also with the severe cold this year It’s been hard to get out in the garage on my time off... I'm planning on building a new house this year with a heated garage so this wont happen again. Hopefully... How about your project? :crazy:

I think someone did one helluva job, but IMHO :U

But then again, I am more of a purist in the visual aspects.

Just my opinion.

While I don't share this persons opinion on the interior choice or lay out I can identify with his pasion for a custom interior after all thats where you as the driver will spend most of your time.

this is what I did

It's been very cold in Finland too, however I've spent the winter in the UK again, which is not too bad. The car is now beein prepared to get painted, other than I need to get some serious brakes before all the snow melts! :cheers:

I like the dash thing but the gauges need to move in front of the driver. The rest of the car maintains a simple clean appearance. So many of the customizations go too far out there for me. This is a nice looking sled.

I would like to see more custom interiors in c3s. The stock stuff can look kind of cheap and unispired compared to the style in the body of a C3.. Does anyone make any brushed stainless or metal bezels for the stock stuff.

Right click on the pic, go to properties, copy the source link and paste it to new browser window. Worked for me!
