Interior & Guage Cluster Picture Thread.

The flocking was easy, in my opinion. Dash was out of the car. I applied the adhesive with a 1" paintbrush and used the $5 puffer tubes to apply the fibers.

huge fan of flocking........

I likey it.........

With your added gauges to the cluster i woulda went all out and just gone w/ a dtm cluster set up!...nevertheless, I like.

how was the flocking process?...pita?


was the dash out of car ...I assume so.

Bringing the thread back from the dead. "Finished" (are we ever really finished?) this weekend. Filled cracks in the dash with bathroom caulking (stays flexible) then flocked it with material from flockit.com. Switches and lights from Radio Shack. Replaced the econo-meter with the fuel gauge, mounted VDO water temp and oil pressure gauges where the OEM fuel and temp gauges were. Tire pressure monitor, AFR and oil temp gauges in the center stack.

Oh man, those switches. I know them well. There are some much cooler switches. If your tripping a relay, the micro switches are so cool. If you need them amps, then get a ebay shuttle replica...

Mine is in the word right now. I have a full set autometer gauges going in it. Here are current pics

Are you heading out from Gainesville? We should roll up together.

Daft Punk e30 dash...this I have to see! Just for fun!

The colors can be changed to anything, so a less disco-time look would be possible, just trying to figure out something that can be seen easily all times of days.

They played for having it done right the first time by a skilled craftsperson. Just about everything costs less if you do it yourself, but you're investing in someone else's knowledge and experience. $100 is not a bad deal.

$100??

I made mine from aluminum...a sheet of 32"x48" 16 gauge aluminum was $30. I also made a door panel from that sheet...

[kingston]

What materials do you guys use to make the dtm clusters? I was thinking sheet aluminum.

Just to be clear...I didn't make mine. That is a part from Lee at Massive Brakes. Beautiful part & PERFECT fitment! Cost was about $100 for the panel...

Me too depending on price

Here is our track car. 1984 318i with M10



as basic as can be. one more switch to be added. for a LED dome light, its hard after nightfall to find everything to get buckled in.

Edited: there is also a truck rubber mud flap that is cut to the shape of the floor, just to save paint and a lil comfort.
