Title: Dashboard and engine out. Upgrade suggestions
Post by: subsonic on December 30, 2007, 04:14:20 pm

I will have the engine and dashboard out of my car in the future.  As I have done home remodles in the past I have learned that it is always easier to plan for upgrades and put in what is needed before I seal up the walls/floors etc...

That being said,  Does anyone have any suggestions about laying a basis for any upgrades while the dash is out?  Electrical etc...?

What will make life easier 2-3 years down the road?

I may plan on upgrading headlights in the future.
I will be doing the heater core while dash is out.
Same deal with Tach.  Plan on getting the additional guages as well. Boost EGT, Oil preassure etc...
