Getting Real

I've just made one more step towards building my simulator, by getting a complete BMW E36 dashboard from the scrapyard.

I will probably cut off the passenger side, and keep only the driver side and the center console, where I'm planning to accommodate a H-shifter, which I'm going to build off a force feedback joystick. I have already bought a Logitech 3D Pro which I'm planning to take apart... but more about that in a future post, so stay tuned.

Here's how the dash looks like.
