Slightly mad dashboard mod

Ok so I went just a little bit insane when I wanted to fit my Deli PC. It started off innocently enough, with me thinking "all I have to do is add a second binnacle, though I'd have to move the vents a bit, and the clock", and ended up with the monstrosity you see here.

Sadly my car PC isn't up to the task of driving, so I've had to re-install the steering wheel. ;-)

Wicked! Does the rear-facing camera feed through to the display when you put the vehicle into reverse?

That is one hell of a job... I do not see myself starting something that extensive. Good job!

The invisible steering wheel from Wonder Woman's jetplane is the coolest part...very rare! :-D

WOW!
Very, very cool. thanks for sharing the bild photos as well. I want tackle some simple mods to my dash but I worry I will make a mess – so for now I’ll continue to read and view posts like your showing us all what IS possible.

Again well done.

The funny thing is I've been planning this for ages but only recently had the guts to actually do it- the prospect of ending up with a destroyed dashboard and no replacement was a bit scary.

Turns out it was fairly easy- however I don't know how it goes when I'm actually driving (I'm expecting a fun few months chasing new rattles and squeaks) because while reassembling the van I noticed that the head gasket had blown. Gah! Time for a new head.

Looks good. Having Yukon Cornelius as project foreman had to help.
