Hi Guys .. heres the pics of an intstall i did on my mums EL Wgn .. i think it turned out good .. what you think .. it was fun beacause it was really easy (and cheap .. lol) ..
Heres the pics where i started - pattern marked out on MDF {DESCRIPTION} the base cut out {DESCRIPTION} The test fit {DESCRIPTION} {DESCRIPTION} ill be using these to attach the panel the dash so it will be easy to push on - pull off. {DESCRIPTION} the new panel with the screen hole cut and the holes located for the install to keep it there {DESCRIPTION} after upholtery with the screen in. {DESCRIPTION} the final product installed . {DESCRIPTION} Im Pretty happy with it .. i made it 1" longer for more space for later but left enough space to put stuff under it still and be able to get to it .. |

Looks good mate but I'm at a loss as to why you went to all the trouble of using MDF and re-trimming when it's a half hour job to modify your existing surround allowing you to keep you ashtray and cigarette lighter...

Hi MoNGooSE .. the reason i went with MDF was so i didnt have to modify the original fascia .. which like you said is easy .. and by the way it wasnt a trouble .. actually really really easy .. im doin upholstery as a trade so no probs there .. lol .. my goul was to make a removable panel .. so i could swap it out if need be .. this is actually a 1/2 hour job aswell .. it cost me less than $10.00 bucks to make .. by the way .. your cars awsome mongoose .. its very unique i think ..

Thanks man.. the only thing i would change if i were to do it again would be to caot the MDF in Fibreglass Resin .. for added strength .. it is strong but a bit too flexible for my liking ..

looks good, but i would have taken a little more care when stretching the vinyl over. its a bit lumpy where it has compressed the foam more in some places.
