I've been working on making a dash for my van, I'm trying to keep it as simple as possible.
this is it so far, Only a small tacho fitted (and the gas switch/gauge that I haven't taken a pic of yet) I plan on wrapping the whole thing in velour.
the stereo, glove box and vents are still to come.
I'm  happy with it so far.

I've used a Volvo 265 dash which fits in perfectly. I took it completely apart to follow the circuit and wire it up. the side gauges are vacuum, oil pressure and voltage.

Here is my current dash, in a few weeks it will become one of the most original dash/consoles ever put in a bedford. Not long now and all will be revealed. :o :o ;D

Hey John, mate I can't wait to finish, lol  ;D my brain will go to mush when the van is finished, I wont know what to dream about, or maybe I will lol  ;D ;D I have lost track of the amount of times I have woken up early morning, yep I like that idea for seat colours, yep do that for floor and so on, everytime I get another job done it spurs you on to go the next job. So far my biggest hurdle are trady's, you are at their mercy, but it will happen. I'm so close now, only death will halt me now. lol :o
