Thanx for the feedback, guys - anything you guys would do different?

Anyway, a few more progress shots....

Lots of work to do, in terms of finishing off the bezel/fascia, but made some good progress on the weekend.

I used a plastic filler/bondo-type thing, called Selly's - for sale at Bunnings, and it works like a dream - set rock hard in 20 odd minutes, depending on hardener used - difficult to sand, but yields a very good finish.....

Here's a shot of the bottom part, I used a primer to seal the balsa wood on this piece, need to sand it down and apply a few more coats, some spot-putty will come in handy to close the few pinholes...

and the newly fabricated top side - remember, ther used to be vents here, so had to use some balsa wood to make a new top cross-member - came out rather nice....

Fatsex = Danny? or Adam?

I will mount the original ICC controls/LCD in the space reserved for the tissue-box.....a few wires to extend, and then making a nice liitle bezel for it should see me home....
