yes i had this hooked up at the back on the original harness but thought if i don't start watching the road instead of looking back at the tacho so just have to lengthen all the wires about 3 metres

yeah, I did the same but I extended my harness from the start, so I never drove looking backwards
You've probably seen it before, but I did my dash a similar way with mdf. I didn't cut the cluster shape from multiple layers like you have, I just
fiberglass in the original Mazda plastic surround;

Yeah yours is a classy job Wes but i didn't want to fit the whole
suby dash as it would be out of character for a kombi like mine this is a prototype and when i'm happy with it i might do in some fancy wood with brass fittings or it might just stay this way forever

If your like me, it'll stay that way for a long time
I put a temporary exhaust on my V6 made out of scrap, with the intention of making something better once the conversion was approved. That was 4 yrs
ago, and the temporary exhaust is still there
