But now.....
Scored a pajero body already comp cut for $15!!!!!!

The front of the body is held on with 3m extreme plastic velcro(i dont know what its called, sorry)

Thank you!!!!!! Theres a dash top and face (where the gauges go) and an L piece.the top glues to one side and the face glues to the other.but the sides (door panels) are angle cut so the whole dash is on an angle. Hope that helps.

And a pic of the shifter

[THE411]

That shift is looking good!

How did you actually bend the dash piece? I havent workd with styrene before.

nice I was thinking of doing something with my pigero not sure what yet... but to the question he said its a L shape small side of the L was to the one side and Long side to the other side making it a normal curve, if you then fill it and sand it down you can make it a easy curve to make it look like you took a rolling pin and a lighter to it

Thank you!!!sorry if i didnt explain it so well. I didnt have to bend anything,its just a piece of angle with 2 bigger strips(1-dash top,1-dash front) glued to each flat surface of the angle.i hope the pics help!!!!!

thankyou!!!! For some reason im having a huge brain fart on explaining how i built it

[THE411]

Oh ok thats not what i was thinking. But still very cool and a bit easier than i was thinking.

A mate of mine has a pajero like yours as a scaler though. He was thinking of selling it until i showed him yours...... now he doesnt know what to do hahaha
