Need to free up space around it by removing some bar work but everything is functional including handbreak
Now for some pics

Little info, it's a modified g27 steering wheel for a little bit more resistance, wired up the handbreak button from the gear shifter to the handbreak warning light switch, inverted the peddles so they push in the right way, need to add some Velcro to the inside of the shifter case and around the stick so it feels more realistic, also have either a 55" 3d led tv or my projector which once I find a permanent spot to mount the screen ill make a curved screen for better field of view and for when I add head tracking

I have a plastic one downstairs in a race buggy project was thinking of using it on the next one and making an aluminium frame too to try and limit the weight a bit

I welded it up outside does that count, anyway I have to do something when it is raining and the jimny is playing up

And I normally have a rug under it so it doesn't scratch the floor

pedal system might need a cross brace lower down, with a bit of enthusiastic heel and toe-ing and mashing of brakes I reckon you will tear the plastic pedal mounting plate away from the tek screws that secure it.
