Nice… so sick.

Its a coupe cluster with HUD, I think all coupes had these.

I’m just bad… been around hatches all my life. I’ve never actually seen a coupe in person!

Looks sick though. Post pics of the hud in action!

I would have nearly finished the dash but removing the old vinyl off the dash was 3x more painful than the door panels

Set back with more bodywork than i was hoping. HUD cover needed some small gaps filled to seat firmly on the S14 dash

One door panel done and aligned! Biggest challenge yet was aligning the door panel with the dash in such a way that the door can close with ease.

Right now im tearing up the old sound deadening and going to clean up the floors for some fresh paint and dyno-mat which is going everywhere in this car from floors to in the rear all around the wheel wells and on the door panels. This is luxury and deadening adds value to the car!

If anyone has any S13 digi climate control parts please reference to this link

These for the hubcaps…which I should order now thanks for reminding me. The grey goose bottles and box is sitting outside I never went threw with finishing it. I really didnt like the sound of a fiberglass box vs MDF.

Center console needed the wiring to be cleaned up and routed better. I think ASC is to blame for 1/2 ass wiring on the verts.

I made the radio trim/shifter with a piece of 18 gauge steel with 3/4" of foam padding before wrapping it in leather.

[![http://img37.imageshack.us/img37/6427/picture967.jpg](http://img37.imageshack.us/img37/6427/picture967.jpg)](http://img37.imageshack.us/i/picture967.jpg/)

wrapped the center piece in leather and added a few switches ill be needing to operate behind the shifter. Im still looking for an “Silvia” emblem to finish the area between the head unit and the shifter.

reshaped the S14 cluster trim to fit with my modified S13 cluster, all that is left is to wrap it in leather.

Sick center console… can you get closer up photos though? kinda hard to tell exactly what it looks like from here  
Did you just roll the steel or hammer/bend cause that looks pretty damn smooth. Nice work but there needs to be a red accent on that console piece… the red silvia emblem would be the shit!

The metal was easy enough to bend with your leg and i will be going back to re-doing it with a DIN storage box and some stitch work. Real carbon fiber or wood are options too but i don’t feel like spending the money atm

lots of effort going into wiring! love it! not going to love doing the engine harness…
