Hi,

After months of hardwork and playing with fibreglass, and wrapping with leather, this is what came out.. It's for my 1973 1303S. It has built-in air-conditing vents via a blower installed inthe trunk of the car. It's not perfect but it's a beauty! .. Cheers!

Please give your comments. Once I get the dashboard installed, I'll snap a few more pictures. .

cheers,
Danny

(Yes .. It's a right-hand drive. I'm from Malaysia . Anybody from around here?)

Hi,

I have gotten the dashboard installed ! .. Some of the pics are show here .. Now, the "K" steering really looks out of place in the car .

There's still plenty to do, the stereo's and LCD screen's not installed yet, interior carpeting not done up yet, and the car is still rolling on stock drums and stock rims! ..

sadly, I'll have to postpone completion til next year due to work commitments :bawling: !! I'll be relocated to Bangalore , India ( wonder if there's any presence of beetles in India??? :rolleyes: .. ) ..

cheers,

Danny .. Malaysia ..

Hi SilverBullet,

Wow! .. saw your profile .. Nice car you have! Think I have heard of you, your car's done by Thomas (Volks-Haven?) By the way, I'm from JB. Never really joined any events or clubs .. so .. dunno much about any other events other than bugfest! .. heheh :laugh:

Yah . the porsche guages are from a porsche 914 . I imported them from US.

Anyway .. do drop me a mail at krazz77@yahoo.com .. may need to ask something about those mouth-watering braking systems!! .. woah!

Cheers,
Danny ..

man, that dash looks AWESOME. just curious, why is the speedo tilted? is it to see better? or just presonal preference?

but yeah, the dash looks ****ing sweet. love it! actually makes me want a 1303. now if only you would make a mold and start selling that and get rich and roll around on big piles of cash.

40hrs sounds about right....do you still have the mold?
maniac

done it without a mold.
All handmade.

on the right side is only a cover done with cfk.
The Hood from the dashes are modded with gfk and then covered with cfk.

sounds like it would be heaver than a stock dash? since you just molded over the top of the original one?

Looks killer for sure! Great work!
