Being a joiner by trade I must say that's a very clever piece of wood shaping, & nicely finished.
Being a TR enthusiast I must say what's the point? Certainly wouldn't have it in my car.[:)]

Bloody awful [xx(] But agree with the manufacturing comment.

But I don't like <font color="blue">any </font id="blue">wood (bar the odd steering wheel) in a TR7/8.

They are from the plastic and vinyl era.

However, I recognise there are people who do - but you shouldn't!! [:0] You should buy another car that it suits better - MK2 Jag, Dolomite?, etc etc.

I don't mean don't have a 7/8 - I mean get an additional car. Best excuse in the world for you.

Cheers,

Shaun.

It increases the fire risk while at the same time encourages the arsonist.

Never say die. At least not while you're still breathing.

I agree with Shauniedawn, woodwork is great but doesn't suit the 7/8

Hay Paul, where can I get a set of those new high tech wheels?


I want to make a gate out of them.

I love wood in my dash .
As soon as I finish mine, I will post pics .
( Made By ROB one of our members "RJS")
But even thought it is very well made it is, in my opinion, atrocious.

I'm a computer jockey by trade, but I do quite a bit of woodworking (if that is what a chippy is).

I did do a dash kit for my car (and a couple of others on the forum), but it is nothing like that thing on eBay.

Here is the one in my car.
