Really like the Vitara dash pod. Genius !!!!
From your description of how you got it you've done so much.... How about some fiberglass to blend the pod into the rest of the dash. I couldn't but I'm sure you could. Its certainly given me an idea for my next build.

I think someone listed the part number (& price) for the Mercedes high steer arms.
Could do with seeing the details again.

thanks rabid rhino yea its took some doing mate think I gave up on it bout 20 times in the 3 year I had it and just kept on changing my mind on weather to make it road legal but the power of boredom when on nyt shift took over and decided why not keep me buisy lol , yea I thought of fiberglass mate just never got round to it and just had some stone vinyl lying around so used that for now , thanks glad I could give you some inspiration mate , I enjoyed building mine lookin at it now from what it was but still needs few little bits n pieces , thanks

Got to be said, I got a light bar recently and it's bloody brilliant. Mine's only a 20" 210w so that 40 ish one must be epic.
With the black and lime colour scheme I reckon some of the smoked LED lights would really look nice in there
