I'd make a new dash (out of teak to match my other small mods) extended to include the oil pressure, voltmeter and useless gauges (replaced with 4 better gauges.)

cup holders is definitely a requirement...im going to mod the dash itself to accept bottles/cans. i smashed off my voltmeter/inclinometer/???meter because only the inclinometer actually worked due to the wiring being missing.....it was there on the back on the gauge cluster but wasnt there on the vehicle. i guess it was added on? anyways, its sitting under my seat or something. other than that i swapped out my seats, that were not original, since i couldn't get in the back seat(its a 2 door, im assuming it had 4 door seats) with chevy cavalier coupe seats. Thats about the extent of my mods inside the cabin that dont require the use of a hammer.

The wiring for the cluster is behind the plastic plug the is right behind it. Mine came without the cluster, but the wiring was still there. Just had to change the oil send to a guage type instead of the light.

If someone has removed the dash, the connector may have fallen down and is wedged behind the wiring or the dash. I did that, but haven't fixed it.
