Have started fitting the dash into the kombi and the curve along the front edge almost perfectly matches that of the kombi windscreen frame! Will still need to modify it to make sit slightly further forward and also trim the sides back as the dash is too wide. Once all that is done I will take it to a dash repair specialist to get it recovered incld the new sides etc.

The engine and dash
Bought a LS400 (or Toyota Celsior to be exact) which has a full alloy 4.0L V8 engine. The car had rear accident damage but it has all the electronics etc for the engine and I'm hoping to use a fair few of the other parts off it too; possibly suspension, brakes etc and interior items such as electric windows and the dash.
