Nice work. Is everything working. Electrically?

Yep got 95% of it working

The rev counter doesn't as it's can bus and the fuel gauge works backwards lol apart from that it's getting there


What's the differnce in the shifters, I've got the TT gator to go on was just hoping it would fit with a bit of modding

02J shifters are alot better. More precise. But I suppose the gaitor and knob can be fitted with a jubilee clip. Same as mk4 on a mk3

Looks mint!

How can u sort the rpm counter? Fuel gauage shouldn't be too bad should it? Or am I totally wrong and underestimating the work? :)

Fuel gauge ain't to bad but when you fill the tank up the gauges will beep etc

I'm going to see if I can fit a mk4 fuel sender in the tank and that should make it go the right way

Rev counter I have a plan for but that will be reviled in time :)

Also the gauges are looking for sensor inputs I don't have like oil level etc so so there beeping like mad

I'm going to see what I can bypass if not I will have to find what resistance each sensor is that it's looking for and just put a resister in to trick them into thinking that the sensors are there (if that makes sense)

havent seen this thread before but serious kudos to you Ian epic build and i love it! :cool:

that dash must have been a nightmare to fit, how much of the crash bar did you need to cut out?

The only bits left are the n/s bit the mounts the heater box and around the steering column, then I made up some reinforcing braces to go in the middle

So yeah not alot left of in :)
