RHD Dashboard Conversion Part 3
What to do with that large hole where the Gauges used to be.
I suppose a glove box would be nice. So as I have an old beetle that will never see the road again, I thought maybe I could graft its glove box in.
Unfortunately, the Beetle glove box is about 25mm too deep, so not wanting to be beaten, I decided to section the glove box door and frame and weld them back together to fit.
Here is the slimmed down beetle glove box clamped in place.
Unfortunately, I forgot to take photos of the glove box door as I cut it down to size. This is a little tricky but does butt weld together very nicely.
Then I used the dash top section from the RH side to fill the top hole.
Not the best photo, but you can see that we now have a glove box.
