HOME MADE MICRA - THE SECOND COMMINGMany of the avid readers out there that have been following the issues in this online magazine will remember that back in Issue 4, Marshall Jones's 1995 Nissan Micra was on its way to becomming a one of a kind cruiser thanks to Marshall's interest in customising his own car totally by himself.When we ran the feature on his car, his custom dash was only half way through the construction process but we are happy to announce that in this time, he has been busy and finally completed the build. For all of his troubles, Marshall has been awarded the mark Furgeson Award and 9th place in the Meavic Sound Off Competition. Marshall still has more planned for his car in ways of lowered suspension, a new interior, new paint and a turbo system on the engine, but for the meantime he is sure to be happy with his results so far. 
The dash build started during his time in High School and was completed in time for his Design and Technology assessment. What started as a standard dash piece has been totally transformed to house custom gauges, a stereo system and also a TV in the passenger side. Constructed from fibreglass, it offers both great strength and light weight. The dash was finally smoothened with filler and vacumm wrapped in tan vinyl to match his doors and custom stereo installation located in the boot. 
We are sure that marshall is very happy with his final result and no doubt be continuing to transform his car much further as time allows. Marshall would like to thank his sponsor XMPLAR Distribution, his parents and grandfather, his girlfriend Samara, the Dash Doctors in Melbourne and finally Brad from Mobile Electronics Australia for all of his efforts and assistance through out the build.
