I decided it wasn't enought to just swap the BB6 Cluster into my CB7 Coupe. So, I am going to swap in the entire dash along with it! I got a pretty good start on it today. To do this, I cut out the outer perimeter of my CB7 dash, which will be mated to the inner portion of the BB6 Dash. The reason I'm doing this is to keep the four factory mounting points on the sides, and retain use of my defroster vents. I'm not running A/C anymore and I don't drive the car in the winter, so I don't really need to make the rest of the BB6 dash vents operable, but I might. We'll see how it plays out. Anyway, here's where I'm at so far, fitment is pretty close, just need to mold the two pieces together.

I have a BB6 prelude that I'm using all the parts from so it makes it a little easier to do this. I am also going to try to integrate the center console into the design. To do this I'll have to use the BB6 E-brake assembly. Shouldn't be too bad since the metal part that holds the ebrake lever and shifter assembly above the exhaust tunnel is just spot welded on. I'll probably drill out those spot welds, drill out the welds on my mounting plate, and weld the BB6 part in place. I'm also hoping that it will raise my shifter a little for autocross purposes.

I'll take pics whenever I get the chance and keep you updated!

That is one sexy door trim. Can't wait to see the rest and how it all looks installed.

Update!!!!!!

Bumped into my friend at the gas station in town, he was just getting home from work. He finished the driver side rear trim panel today! He's going into work tomorrow to wrap the passenger door insert and stitch the armrest covers. Those will be done in black Alcantara. The front seam will be machine sewed and the rest by hand where needed.

My new speakers should be delivered next week so I'll post pics of the pods being built. I'll probably do most of that myself cause of how busy he is lately.

Other than that, we'll be down to the rear deck trim panel, center console, sun visors, and dash, which will be the most complicated and saved for last.

BB6 dash swap is nearing completion!!!

Edit again... I just noticed the last THREE posts are by you. 2008 or not, I don't care. Get off my forum.

not sure how this pic fits in my thread... But, I can't wait to see it finished up either! Soon enough though! The fact that my friend is going into work on a Saturday is a good sign that he plans on getting it done soon! I'm super pumped about it being done, on the other hand the car is in heated storage at least!
