Atom's Amazon Wagon Project Update Thread

What if you exposed the gears by cutting out the centers and paint them the same color as the block? I love the CF.
 
Took some time on a brisk Seattle morning to let my buddy do some drone photos

Some in-progress stuff.

Then I decided that instead of having a radio blank and a clock blank and rear defrost blank and fader blank, etc. that I’d just cover that part too. It’ll become a panel to relocate the idiot lights from the dash (more on that later) and put in digital boost gauge.

Because the Amazon firewall is so close to the driver there’s not enough room to push the E30 cluster as far back as it is in an E30. What I’m going to do is pull the clear plastic face off the front, trim off the idiot light panel across the bottom, relocate those to the center stack, make individual bezels for the four dials (to look sort of aviation style) and have each bezel have it’s own acrylic face.

Also won an auction for a used Nardi from Japan. Now I need to track down an adapter hub.

Website says you need Hub kit: 4370.95.0604, for the 86 BMW steering column

I’d kind of like to add a green tint to the numbers. I don’t know if I’m gonna take it that far though.
