Woodgrain Dash!

killakornkobb · 2004-07-05T08:26:20+00:00

talking to cousin's fiance, and we wanna make a woodgrain dash for the beetle.. so the grill on either side of the speedo would be woodgrain, as th espeaker mounted behind isnt used, so no gill actually needed.. and also replace the glove box lid with wood grain.. real wood.. no cheap wodgrain contact.. has anyone done this before? have any advice? anything? support, hatred for the idea? i think it'll look kinda cool, and i'd like to do it cos he is parting his car, ima buy most of it lol.. so we cant do it to his one.

i will be creating a whole new glove box lid🙂

exactly the same measurments as the lid i have at the moment.. just in wood 🙂 not covering the existing lid.. will use the knobs, screws and everything from the original lid.. just replace the actual "Door" that is painted metal, with a wooden, polished replica🙂

well the 3 inch pod filter didnt work all that well as the elbow was had wouldnt fit under the rear kit of the baja so we made a shorter upwards flange but it was too much airflow and it wasnt sucking enough fuel to keep up.......so im now going to buy a smaller 50mm pod and make a longer attachment. for now the oil bath stays
