Could you please scan the area in front of the shifter and the dash where they meet? Basically the "V" shape where that useless cupholder is. I want to make a gauge cluster for that area

That was the day he learned to never under estimate a 40!

Yeah driving the malahat at first snow fall is almost as risky as driving around Sidney in the middle of the day!

Yup I will be there at 2pm still

For the sake of science I just unclipped and re-clipped one of the pins three times with the reinforcement and so far so good. I don't have a reason to pull the panel off completely on the next while so that's probably all the testing it will get before I forget about posting back up here. If...

Fixed my torn out mdf door panel with some plastic reinforcement and super glue. We will see if it lasts more than one removal but at least the panel is secure on first install.

I agree, the dual cap with truck bed would be awesome..something about the shape is just perfect.

It's always impressive the organization that land rovers can put on. They had that camel trophy comp, that Darian gap. I guess it's usually funded by wealthy British people but it's still always an impressive operation.

Yeah i see a few 80s around. There is actually a nice white one with manual and 1hdt swap that I had a convo with at a traffic light once. Not sure if that person is on here but we had the same setup (except mine is auto). There is also a shop up in keating that seems to have a number of cruiser...

Oh wow that Facebook page is old. To be honest I am totally surprised by the lack of chatter in the cruiser world in this area but your explanation makes a lot of sense. I guess times have changed a lot since I bought my 80 series for $3k. I guess not only is it more of a nieche group but also...

Oh man, if this goes the way it's going might have to invite the jeep club just to have a turn out :(

Yeah I'm in the same boat with two little kids but we will see if there are a few that can make it. If no one seems to be able to make that time we can always try a late one too

I guess if this is up to me then I should get my cruiser back together again... I was thinking keeping it simple and just some coffee in a tim Hortons parking lot. Keep it to the uptown area for now and see if it grows into something. Thinking here (let me know if this link works) Saanich Core...

I keep seeing a ton of cruisers down here in Victoria. Are there ever any parking lot meet ups? Seems like the drift kids meet up at saveon frequently and I think we can do a bit better than that. Just wondering if there is something repeating already organized in the lower island area?

@Dmouse Are you still scanning parts? I could use a scan of the area ahead of the shifter and under the dash where that useless cup holder is. I'm needing to desing a new gauge cluster for that area. Also if you're still having trouble scanning flat areas, they tracer dots or this spray AESUB...
