    mark if this helps mate you can see in the pic the template i made and you may be able to see roughly how it will go together the 2nd picture is the panel around the steering wheel. I will have more pics of when the cars back and the dash is all in hope this helps mate

    They sell similar plasma dial kits for the turbocharged Rover 600 too, they are very popular on the MGRover website, and they look the nuts

    yes mate the company i used pretty much do any car out there they are really helpful and send pics and keep in touch with you while there being made, so that if your not happy with something they will change it, you can even put your own logos or names on them but i thought it would have been a bit ott

    Really like this idea Phil, will look the nuts.

    Will it be complicated to modify the plastic cover / number plate light section?

    cheers mate

    yes it should fit as i made the plates myself to the exact size so the plastic trim would fit with an equal length space between the ends without moving the number plate lights closer in. I wanted to do it this way to try and keep it looking origional rather than a box section

    Re: bringing my 5 back from the dead

    ok its been a while since i added some more pics so here are a few more cars has now taken a little longer than i thought but will now be back with me on the 4th of june the work is incredible and these pics dont do it any justice managed to get pics before it got flattened and polished so it will be a lot more shiny when i have it the sprayer is amazing and this finish is straight out the gun before prep and polish

    Phil, I can't get over the amount of money you have thrown at the 5, the items you have purchased already, the time you and the body shop have put in to date and the amount of time to still go into rebuilding the 5 and the quality of the work is to date is amazing. This is one project I am very much looking forward to seeing completed. keep up the good work matey and I am more than happy to help you out putting the 5 back together.

    Also if you want me to run your engine in I am more than happy to
