Thanks for all the (positive) responses

I will try to get some better piccies taken this weekend in daylight, The current ones were taken at about 10 PM with a flash camera, just after I had assembled the complete dash for the first time... Anything you particularly want to see?
To answer a few questions:
It's all custom made, and I do mean all, the heater controls, the vents the switch mounts. I don't want to think about how long it took to make but we are talking hundreds, or probably thousands of hours.
I will see what build pictures I can find but they will be few, I did the work mainly in the evenings as with 3 kids, work, house etc. time is scarce, once out in the garage I didn't want to stop to take pictures, with hind-sight a mystake but there we go.
Seats: (passenger is from side of the road hard waste!) Got these about 15 years ago from an Opel Manta GTE... I lived in the Uk untill 5 years ago so that probably won't mean anything here in Auzz. They are Recaros which I retrimmed from Orange with Tartan inserts to black... re-trimming was a nightmare too!
Switches came from
www.carbuildersolutions.co.uk Very helpfull but does not carry every switch. Demontweaks also do some of the range so there are a few options. There are a number of very good UK companies for these things who will mailorder to Auzz I will try to find the other companies I used...
I will try to get to the Mini Experience show on the 13th December in Melbourne... If I can find a trailer to transport the car as it has no engine!
So you should be able to see it in the flash then... Hope it still looks as good up close, all I can see are the faults!
