Note the heated seat buttons, my fiancee loves them!! The piece at the back is a solid piece I shaped and curved, mostly tablesaw since I've managed to bust my bandsaw

Due to recent budget cuts and the rising cost of electricity, gas, and oil, we have decided to turn off the light at the end of the tunnel. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Re: Custom console (dash soon), in progress (with pics)
I'll try to post an "in car" picture tonight.
Funny Story:
Last night I temporarily popped all the lower dash parts in (plus the windscreen and the seatbelt guides I purchased from Brady {http://www.fiatspider.com/f08/memberlis ... ile&u=5827} which are all awesome!!!). I wanted to pick up the fiancee after her class, for a ride in style.
Night was a bit chilly, so I made sure to plug in the heated seats, pack a nice blanket.... Then, as an afterthought I plugged in the three wires that control the heater fan, in case she was cold. Very thoughtful... The balance of the wires I just left alone until later, all tucked under the gearshift console...
except, as I raced to get her, I flicked the switch to hight to warm up the area... and my windshield wipers came on
Lol, guess what happens when you just grab a random set of three wires and plug them in

Thx 
Should have more pics next few days.
Trying to really tidy up the "loose ends" in the wiring, before I tuck it all back underneath.
