Do you still need a heater matrix?

Very neat. I took a similar path in plywood to put in toolbox, spares, rags, wooden block for the jack, decent spanner for the wheel nuts etc. It tidied up the boot no end!The fuel tank is in. It always takes longer then you think it will, like the little block holding the AN bulkheads on the floor. The aluminium support at the front has 4 M8 bolts holding it down with plates under the sheet metal. Likewise with the rear strap mounts but those plates ended up inside the car, pretty sure it's not going to come out in a crash the rest of the car will survive. Next is the fuel lines that go to the back of the car.
It may not be a race car but why not make it look like one anyway.
I'd try hard to keep that driver's side air vent. They work so well.Lots of wiring has been going on as well as sorting out the steering, photos of that one to come.
One thing thing that has taken longer then expected was working out the gauge arrangement. After a few cardboard mock ups I came up with the winner, not quite standard.
The panel is aluminium that has been painted with some grey 2k paint. I hope it ends up looking good in the car. All the gauges are on a CAN bus from the ECU so wiring is pretty simple.
The vent can go in once I decide if I'll be removing the silver off them as I only have one is good condition
I've often thought that all you need is a discreet toggle switch without a label. I did that once for a friend's Dauphine. She didn't have money for a new switch, so I just added a toggle. No one stole the car...Those people with non standard steering columns, where did you put the ignition switch?
On the dash near the vent? Or I'm thinking the cigarette lighter hole is a likely candidate.
The hole in my dash under the little gauges is for the headlight switch.
